Managing approval workflows in the Admin Portal in On Demand Group Management

Thanks for your interest in Quest on-demand, your go-to Sas dashboard for tackling Microsoft challenges in a hybrid world. I'm Shawny Reiner, Senior Strategic Systems Consultant at Quest. In this short video tour, I'm going to explain what on-demand group management is and show you one of the on-demand group management features. If you've taken any of the other tours, you know that ODGM is a Sas based group management tool for on-prem only, hybrid, and Azure only groups. It allows for controlled, self-service creation, management, and attestation, as well as provide the administrator with a single pane for the whole hybrid environment. From the admin portal settings self-services page, you, as the admin, can define the approvors and approval processes that initiate when admins or end users access the self-service portal and create group action and attestation requests. Approval processes are the steps that must occur for approval to be granted. There are several predefined defaults already configured. However, you can modify these by clicking the Edit icon and all of the options are editable. And you can create additional steps in these processes, or you can simply create new custom processes by clicking the Add in the upper right corner. The services are the individual actions of group management creation that an admin or end user can request, such as create, delete, join, attest. The approval process is then assigned to the service and this creates the approval workflow. You simply click the Edit icon and select the process that is appropriate for that particular action. The service or action now must comply with the approval workflow steps defined in the assigned process before the request can be executed. Approval workflows are an important compliance component that on-demand group management helps to simplify from a single pane of glass. So that's the quick tour. Ready to get started?
