Setting Approval Chains
What is an Approval Chain?
An approval chain is a series of users or user groups who must approve a content block before it can be published on your Web site. When the last person in the chain approves a block, it goes live.
Also, if a user deletes a content block, before it can be removed from Ektron CMS400.NET, everyone in the approval chain must approve the deletion.
An approval chain can include any number of users or user groups. However, to be eligible, a user or user group must have permissions to the content folder or content block. See Also: Setting Permissions
Note
If you assign a user group to an approval chain, only one member of the group needs to approve the content, not all members.
Also, if a user appears in an approval chain twice (both as a user and part of a user group), the approval chain skips the second approval because the user has already approved the content.
You can set up an approval chain for a content folder or a content block as well as a language. See Also: Multi-Language Approval Chains
Finally, the Approval Method determines if a content block must be approved by all users in the chain, or only users higher up the chain than the one making the edits.
This chapter explains how to manage approval chains through the following subtopics.
