Hi @Charlie _DEISER_ 

With the help of above document now i configured approval request. In addition to that I want to how to configure that approval specific request. Example I received 3 request like start server, stop server and reset password for server. In 3 request I want to configure approval request for reset password for server and I do not want approval request for start and stop server. Is there possible way to configure like that in JIRA. I any means tell me how to do.

Hi @Mani 

Yes, this can be done in Jira. I think the best way to achieve this is to have 2 workflows:

• Workflow 1 (Requests that needs approval)
• Workflow 2 (Requests that do not need approval)

Associate the issue type & request type to the corresponding workflow, IE:

• Start server - Workflow 2
• Stop server - Workflow 2
• Reset password - Workflow 1

Check this link for more info: Change the workflow and issue type of a request type | Jira Service Management Cloud | Atlassian Support

You need to understand the relation between workflows / issue types / request types, there is a lot of info regarding this topics in Atlassian documentation.

Hi @Mani 

I will not be able to help in this case. Your initial question was regarding configuring approval process and this was cover, now you are adding your internal business procedures which in my opinion requires consultancy, unfortunately I will not be able to provide that.

I suggest you contact one of your local Atlassian partner (Atlassian Partner Directory) and ask for training or consultancy.

Hi @Mani 
You can look into Approval Path for Jira:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220490/approval-path-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

You can define different approval definitions (different users/groups) and run in for different types of requests.

You can start approval using workflow or Jira Automation.
