    About this task

    Exception approver level 1 user group members can approve the level 1 exception rule requests. Similarly, exception approver level 2 user group members can approve the level 2 exception rule requests. Both the user groups inherit the exception approver role by default.
    Note:

    If you are deploying the VR application for the first time, the flow designer for exception management is enabled by default. If you are already using the workflow, you can update to the flow designer. In both cases, you cannot change it back to workflow. To configure approval rules for exception management and false positive, see Configure approval rules for Exception Management.

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Security Exposure Management Workspace.

    3. Select Review on the Exception rules tile.
    4. Select a request from your queue.
    5. Approve or reject the request with and explain why you approved or rejected the request.
