Approve and Reject User Requests

Self-Service automatically sends e-mail to Request Approvers about user requests. Each approval step requires a unique Request Approver. After you approve a request, Self-Service sends e-mail to the next participant (either a Request Approver or Token Distributor) in the workflow. If you are the last participant in the workflow, Self-Service sends users an e-mail informing them their request has been accepted or rejected.
