Manual Approvals

Introduction

Transfer Shield can require a file to be manually reviewed before its transfer completes.

Manual approval is configured as the action on a Content Rule Group.

When approval is required

When a file matches a Content Rule Group configured with Require manual approval, Couchdrop holds the transfer instead of completing it immediately.

An approval task is then created on the Tasks page.

Reviewing approval requests

Approval tasks are assigned to the users or groups configured for the Content Rule Group.

Assigned users can open the task in Couchdrop and approve or reject the file.

Approvals cannot be completed from email.

Email notifications can be used to notify assigned users that a file requires approval, but the approval itself must be completed from the Couchdrop UI.

Files waiting for approval

Files requiring approval remain held while the approval task is outstanding.

They remain held until they are approved or deleted.
