# Review and revoke standing approvals

Review the actions you have allowed Arc to take without asking, and revoke any you no longer require.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_app\_arc.user

## About this task

A standing approval exists only after you select **Always Allow** on an approval card when Arc asks permission for an action.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Settings** > **Approvals**.

2.  Review the list of standing approvals.

    Each approval's label describes the whole group of actions it covers, such as **Create any ServiceNow incident**, not only the action you approved.

    Approvals for accessing folders outside your workspace appear with a label such as **Allow read access to this path outside workspace**.

3.  Select **Revoke** for each approval to remove the approval.

    If you revoke the permission, Arc requests permission again before running the action.
