For this workflow, a special info field with the approval status must be defined. Also it needs an approval node where the asset will be moved to wait for the approval. #### Table of Contents - [Steps](#steps) - [Properties](#properties) - [Screenshots](#screenshots) - [Compatibility Matrix](#compatibility-matrix) - [Release Notes](#release-notes) ## Steps - On asset added event: The added asset will be verified, if it is already approved and if the node is a public node. - If the asset must be approved, it will be directly moved to the approval folder. - In the approval folder, a specified user group can approve or deny the asset. - If the asset will be denied, it will be deleted from the approval folder and the status set to rejected. - If the asset will be approved, the asset will be moved back to the public folder and the status will be set to approved. - On version updated the workflow will also be triggered if the asset is in a public node. The asset will also change the status and be moved to the approval node. ## Properties To be configured in {home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties ##### assetApproval.license > type: String, **required: yes**, default: - The license key for the plugin (product: assetApproval), provided by *brix*. ##### assetApproval.approvalUserGroupIds > type: numbers, **required: yes**, default: - With userGroupIds, groups will be defined which can approve or deny assets in the approval node. e.g. `12,73,32` ##### assetApproval.approvalNodeId > type: long, **required: yes**, default: - With the approvalNodeId, the node will be defined where the assets will be moved to approve or deny them. e.g. `1000` ##### assetApproval.publicNodeIds > type: long, required: no, default: - The publicNodeIds define which nodes are public.
