The users registered on this screen are the global approvers. In a user review and certification campaign, a global approver reviews the users who have no other reviewer. When the **Enable approval workflow for users review and certification** parameter is on, the global approver for the **User Management** module also approves each completed review. For details, see [Reviewers and global approvers](/v4-2/docs/about-access-review-reviewers). ## Path to access 1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Settings**. 2.

In the confirmation box, click **Yes** to confirm the action. Info By default, the report displays 30 records per screen. To go to the next screen, click the forward buttons at the end of the report. ## Global approvers by module The module of the record defines whether the global approver takes part in review and certification campaigns. Only global approvers for the **User Management** module do. They: - Review the users who have no reviewer in a user review campaign. - Receive escalated reviews at the end of the reviewer chain. - Approve each completed review when the **Enable approval workflow for users review and certification** parameter is on. For the parameter, see [Approval workflow](/v4-2/docs/pam-session-system-parameters-approval-workflow). Global approvers registered for other modules do not receive campaign reviews. A user can be a global approver for several modules at the same time. Records on this screen cannot be edited. To change the module of a global approver, remove the record and register the user again with the new module. ## Global approvers and campaigns Segura™ refuses to create a user review campaign when no global approver exists for the **User Management** module, with the message *A global approver must be defined. Configure one to continue.* A global approver added while a campaign is running joins that campaign. ### Removing the last global approver While a user review campaign is `Enabled`, `Scheduled`, or `Processing`, Segura™ refuses to remove the last global approver for the **User Management** module on this screen. In the campaign, the global approvers section is read-only in those statuses. Segura™ shows the message *You cannot remove every global approver. The campaign needs at least one User management global approver. Add another global approver before removing this one.* The approver stays registered. To replace the last global approver, register the new global approver first, then remove the previous one. The rule does not apply when: - Another global approver for the **User Management** module remains. - No campaign is `Enabled`, `Scheduled`, or `Processing`. Closed, finished, and paused campaigns do not count. - The global approver is registered for another module. ### Deactivating the user of the last global approver Segura™ does not prevent you from deactivating or deleting a user who is the last global approver for the **User Management** module. Instead, a job that runs every hour pauses every `Enabled`, `Scheduled`, or `Processing` campaign that has no active global approver for that module. Every user with the **PAM Administrator** or **System Administrator** role receives a notification in the notification center and by e-mail. To resume a paused campaign, register a new global approver for the **User Management** module, then resume the campaign in the campaign report. For details, see [Campaign](/v4-2/docs/settings-campaign). ### Audit Segura™ records in the audit trail every global approver added or removed, on this screen or in the campaign, with the user who performed the action and the user affected. To view these records, go to **Reports > Audit**. # **Approvers screen** This screen provides the necessary information for registering an approver. | Item | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Module** | Dropdown menu | Yes | Segura™ module in which the approvers will be registered. | | **Approvers** | Table | Yes | Data of each member added as an approver, containing the *checkbox*, *ID*, *Name*, *Username*, *E-mail*, and *Department* fields. | | **Add/Remove selected** | Button | Yes | Opens the list of Segura™ users who have the role of approver to be added. | ## Related topics - [Reviewers and global approvers](/v4-2/docs/about-access-review-reviewers). - [Register an approver user](/v4-2/docs/how-to-register-an-approver-user). - [Manage approver users](/v4-2/docs/how-to-manage-approver-users). - [Campaign](/v4-2/docs/settings-campaign). - [Create a user review campaign](/v4-2/docs/how-to-create-a-user-review-campaign).
