A user role defines a set of control or permission about what a user can do. ICM has the following three predefined user roles for the Requests feature:
- Requester: The person who generates the request (primary owner).
- Approver: The person who approves the request.
- Reviewer: The person who reviews the request.
You can approve the requests, only if you are assigned the role of the Approver.
To approve a request:
1. Click the Notifications tile on the Home page.
