Request approval for MAV-protected operations in StorageGRID

As a StorageGRID administrator or user, when you initiate a MAV-protected operation in StorageGRID, a request is generated automatically. A message appears to inform you that the operation requires approval.

The StorageGRID system defines which operations are protected by MAV. When you initiate a MAV-protected operation, the request is sent to the MAV administrators for approval.

Steps

The StorageGRID system informs you that you've initiated a MAV-protected operation.

  1. As needed, perform any of the following tasks:

    1. Check the status of your request by selecting Configuration > Access control > Multi-admin verification > My requests.

      • Pending. Request has been initiated.

      • Expired. Request wasn't addressed within 30 days. Or a user with Root access permission disabled MAV, which means all pending requests are expired.

      • Withdrawn. A user withdrew their request.

      • Approved. A MAV administrator approved the pending request.

      • Rejected. A MAV administrator rejected the pending request.

    2. Check the pending requests of other users by selecting Configuration > Access control > Multi-admin verification > Other requests.

    3. To cancel an operation, select My requests > the request you want to cancel > Withdraw.

After a MAV administrator approves the request, the operation is performed automatically.

If your request is rejected, the operation isn't performed, and you can submit a new request if needed.
