Approvals

Approvers

Approvers are created and organised within approval groups. Groups can be created for an organisation or a wallet. Where an approval group has been created for an organisation, that group will be available for all wallets. An approver can be any user with the correct permissions and with a registered device.

Add approvers to an organisation

👍

Palisade currently supports one 'default' approval group per organisation.

Create an approval group for an organisation

Navigate to Controls from the main console navigation.

Name and description

Give each group a useful name and description. This will allow others in the organisation to easily identify the group and its intended purpose.

Approvers

Creating an approval group requires a number of registered devices within the organisation. Each device requires the Palisade mobile app downloaded and registered to the organisation. Select the devices you wish to belong to the approval group. Learn how to register a device

There's currently no limit to the number of approvers within a group.

Required approvals

This sets the number of approvers required to approve an action within Palisade. This number should always be set to at least one below the number of devices in the group to prevent requiring each device every time (e.g if an approval group has three approvers, set the number of required approvers to two).

Add approvers to a wallet

By default all wallets will use the organisations default approval group, as set on the controls page. This can be over-ridden by clicking Update approval group and selecting Do not use an approval group.

This default group can be over-ridden with creation of a custom group within a wallet, under the Approvals tab.

Approve or decline a transaction

Approvers will be notified in the console and in the mobile app when they are being asked to approve a transaction.

The approval window for a transaction remains open for 60 minutes. A transaction will remain in a pending state until the required number of approvals has been met. If the number of required approvals has not been met in that window the transaction will fail.
