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
-
Navigate to Settings > Approvals.
-
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.
-
Select Revoke for each approval to remove the approval.
If you revoke the permission, Arc requests permission again before running the action.
