Approval Rules list¶
The Approval Rules list shows the approval rules that are used to apply workflow settings to certificate issuance and revocation requests. For example, you can have rules that control who has to approve a certificate request based on information in the request.
The approval rules are listed in ranked evaluation order, which means the rule at the top of the list, with priority 1, will be evaluated first.
When a request matches a rule, no further evaluation takes place. If a certificate request doesn't match a given rule, it will be evaluated against the next rule in the list. If a request matches the exception criteria in a rule, the Continue Processing on Exceptions feature controls whether further rules are evaluated.
If a rule has an exception, you can specify whether that exception stops processing further rules.
