# Approve an unassign request in Configuration Compliance

Approve requests for the removal of remediation tasks from an assignment group or an individual user in the Configuration Compliance application.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_vulc.unassign\_approver

## About this task

By default, an approval configuration is provided. For unassign approvals, one approver is required in the Approver – Level 1 approval group. By default, the unassign approval group \(`Unassign Approver CC - Level 1`\) is created and users that are part of this group can approve the request. By default, this group contains the unassign approver role, sn\_vulc.unassign\_approver. You can modify or create a group and update the approval configuration by navigating to **All** > **Configuration Compliance** > **Administration** > **Approval Rules** > **Remediation Task Field Change Request** > **Unassign Remediation Task**.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Configuration Compliance** > **My Approvals**.

2.  Select a request from your queue.

3.  Approve or reject the request by adding the appropriate comments.
