ApprovalsAPI

Use this API to implement approval functionality. With this functionality in place, you can get generic approvals and modify them.

The main advantages this API has vs Access Request Approvals are that you can use it to get generic approvals individually or in batches and make changes to those approvals.

All URIs are relative to https://sailpoint.api.identitynow.com/v2025

approve-approval

Post Approvals Approve Currently this endpoint only supports Entitlement Description Approvals. Approves a specified approval request on behalf of the caller. This endpoint is for generic approvals, unlike the access-request-approval endpoint, and does not include access-request-approvals. The approval request must be in a state that allows it to be approved. If called by an admin and the admin is not listed as an approver, the approval request will be reassigned from a random approver to the admin user.

get-approval

experimental

This API is currently in an experimental state. The API is subject to change based on feedback and further testing. You must include the X-SailPoint-Experimental header and set it to true to use this endpoint.

setting x-sailpoint-experimental header

on the configuration object you can set the x-sailpoint-experimental header to `true' to enable all experimantl endpoints within the SDK. Example:

  configuration = Configuration()
configuration.experimental = True

Get an approval Currently this endpoint only supports Entitlement Description Approvals. Retrieve a single approval for a given approval ID. This endpoint is for generic approvals, different than the access-request-approval endpoint and does not include access-request-approvals.
