Approvals

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/beta
