4.8. Approval Process

The approval process includes two types of users: • requestor - A user of the publication registry who can ask for the approval of data for promotion. Every user can ask for approval, but to have data considered for promotion, a user must have an administrator-assigned approver. • An approver is a user or group given the ability to review published information on the publication registry and grant or deny approval to promote that information to the discovery registry. If the approver is a group then any of its members may approve or reject approval requests. Page 194

4.8.1. Requestors Actions

• Create and submit request • Manage Requests • Cloning Requests Create and Submit Request This section describes the steps to request approval of entities. This can be done in two ways: 1. When an entity is published on a publication registry, the final screen provides a button to request immediate approval of the entity and related entities for promotion to the discovery registry. See Section 4.4, Publishing ; 2. For published entities it is possible to request their promotion to the discovery registry or demotion from the discovery registry; The procedure below uses the second of these as an example. The first case differs in that it is not possible to demote newly published entities and so the user is not presented with this option. The procedure has minor differences in the first few steps. You need to publish entities before following this procedure. The first few steps request promotion of an existing provider as an example. The entities are those in sections Section 4.4.1, Publishing Providers and Section 4.4.2, Publishing Services . These sections also explain the other way of starting the procedure. 1. On the Catalog tab, click on an entity type such as Providers in the tree menu. To select an existing provider click My providers and the existing providers are displayed as in Figure 31 .
