Configuring approvals for subscribing package

You must configure the approval settings in webMethods API Gateway to enforce approval for subscribing a package to a plan in webMethods Developer Portal.

1. Open the menu options and select Administration.
2. Select General > Approval configuration > Subscribe package.
3. Set the Enable toggle button to the on position to enable the approval configuration to take effect.
4. Select the access profile of approvers from the approvers list.
5. Select anyone from the approved by list. This implies that any one user of the selected team can approve or reject the requests. The requester need not wait for the approval of each approver in the approvers group.
   Note: If a user is associated with the selected team, then the user can approve or reject a pending request even if the user is not associated with the approvers group.
6. Select Team approvers to allow the team approvers to approve the pending requests of applications that the team is associated with. You can specify the users and user groups (Team approvers) in the approvers section when creating or editing the team details. The team approvers list will also include the users and user groups specified in the team administrators section, if the Include team administrators as approvers option is selected.
7. Select Disable auto-approval of the requester to specify that applications cannot be automatically approved when they are created by users who have the privilege to approve application creation requests. If you do not select this option, then the applications created by users who have the required privileges are automatically approved.
