An administrator may provide you with test accounts for different roles in your application. Log in with each of these accounts to check that the application works as expected.

If the reviewer rejects the application, the status changes to Rejected. You may also receive an email that includes the reviewer's comments. Use the feedback to improve your application, and then submit the application again.

If the application passes testing, the administrator publishes the application and the status changes to Published. The administrator on-boards the team that requested the application. For example, if you specified a certain security role for the application, the administrator assigns that role to the relevant users.
