# How to manage your approvals

This document provides information on how to approve requests from other users within **Certificate Manager**, and track the status of these requests.

The actions a user can approve for another user are:

- View certificate passwords
- Sign a certificate
- Renew a certificate
- Publish a certificate

## Requirements

- An **Approver** user in a **Certificate Manager's** access group.
- A role with the following permissions:
  - `CertificateManager.Requests.Approval.List`
  - `CertificateManager.Requests.Approval.View`
  - `CertificateManager.Requests.Approve`

          Attention

          

If your user belongs to other access groups with stricter settings, the system will apply these rules, and you won't be able to see the requests. Please ensure that you're not included in any of these groups.

## Approve a request

To approve a request, see the following steps:

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Certificate Manager**.
2. In the side menu, select **Access control > My approvals**.
3. In the desired request, click **Actions > Approve**.
4. Click **Yes** to confirm the approval.

## Reject a request

To reject a request, see the following steps:

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Certificate Manager**.
2. In the side menu, select **Access control > My approvals**.
3. In the desired request, click **Actions > Reject**.
4. Click **Yes** to confirm the rejection.

## Monitor your approvals

To monitor requests already approved and those awaiting approval, see the following steps:

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Certificate Manager**.
2. In the side menu, select **Access control > My approvals**.
3. In the **Status** filter, select one of the following options: *Pending*, *Approved*, *Rejected*, *Expired*, and *Cancelled*.
  1. (Optional): Use any other field to refine the search further.

According to the applied filters, your approvals appear on [My approvals](/v4-2/docs/certificate-manager-reference-my-approvals) report screen.

          Info

          

If you're using Segura™ when someone requests your approval, a pop-up message will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen.
