Settings
Policy & AuthorityPolicy Controls settings allow you to configure default workflow behavior for each policy request type and manage tenant-level policy lifecycle preferences. These settings establish the baseline process that applies to all policies unless overridden at the individual policy level.
Settings configure the default workflows designed in the Workflows builder. Workflows are triggered when Policy Requests are submitted.
Accessing settings
Navigate to Policy Lifecycle > Settings to open the PolicyLifecycleWorkflowSettingsContent page.
Workflow configuration per request type
Configure the default workflow for each of the five request types:
| Request Type | Configuration |
|---|---|
| CREATE | Workflow for new policy creation requests |
| UPDATE | Workflow for policy modification requests |
| RETIRE | Workflow for policy retirement requests |
| PUBLISH | Workflow for publishing approved policies |
| REVIEW | Workflow for scheduled policy review cycles |
For each request type, you can:
- Assign the default workflow template
- Set the approval stages and role assignments
- Configure notification triggers
- Define escalation timeouts
Tenant-level defaults
Settings configured here apply as defaults across all policies in the tenant. Individual policies can override these defaults from their own settings when a unique approval process is required. When a policy request is submitted, SecureHive checks for a policy-level workflow override first; if none exists, the tenant-level default is used.
Role mapping
Map workflow stage roles to your organization’s actual team structure. This ensures that workflow stages route to the correct reviewers and approvers based on current team membership from the Operating Model. When team membership changes, role-mapped workflows automatically adjust without requiring manual updates to each workflow.
