What is the consequence when a member of a governance group approves a request?

When a member of a governance group approves a request, the approval process is typically terminated, meaning that the request has met the necessary requirements for authorization and is considered complete unless specified otherwise in the governance policy. This is designed to streamline the approval process, allowing for efficient handling of requests without unnecessary additional confirmations once sufficient authority has been granted.

This approach is beneficial in scenarios where timely decisions are crucial, and it prevents bottlenecks that can occur with requiring multiple approvals for every request. Instead of circling back to other members, which could slow down operations, a single approval from a qualified member effectively finalizes the decision.

The other options suggest processes that would either prolong the decision-making (requiring other approvals or manager reviews) or lead to an outright denial, which does not align with standard practices for governance in identity management systems, where automated approvals are meant to enhance efficiency and accuracy in handling requests.
