About the Account Approval Process

If an approval process is configured for new accounts, requests are forwarded to one or more approvers for review. If the reviewer approves the request, the account is created.

A step-by-step example of the approval process is provided below.

Step	Action	Result
1.	After the account request is submitted, all approvers configured in the Account Approval settings receive an email with a link to approve the request.	NOTE: This email template can be customized in the web part settings. If you are an approver, click on the link provided in the email to review the request.
2.	Make a selection to approve or deny the new account.
3.	Click the Submit button.	NOTE: If multiple approvers click on the request, only the first response is accepted.
4.	If a request is approved, the account is created. A verification email is sent to the new account.	NOTE: The verification email template can be customized. An email can also be sent to the original requestor, if that option is selected in the web part settings.
