Technical preview: Advanced approval step

HelloID introduces a technical preview of the
Advanced approval step
for product request approval workflows. This new step allows you to use a PowerShell script to determine approvers, enabling more advanced and flexible approval logic alongside existing user scope filters.
This release includes a new user interface for configuring and testing the Advanced approval step. From the Approval Workflow configuration, you can define a name for the step, configure a PowerShell script, and choose whether it will run on a local agent or the HelloID cloud agent.
You can also test and validate the script using realistic request data. The interface provides tabs to define input variables, view returned data, and review log messages. This helps ensure the approval logic behaves as expected.
Note
: This feature is released as a
technical preview
: the step can be configured and validated, but its results are not yet applied in live approval workflows. It is hidden behind a feature flag and requires a HelloID Governance module license.

Administrators can now assign delegated approvers

Administrators can now assign a delegated approver (or responder) for a user to temporarily handle product requests on their behalf. This ensures that product requests continue to be processed even if a user is away and forgot to set up a backup themselves.
To use this feature, administrators must have the new Users – Manage Delegated Approvers permission.

Improved permission retrieval and performance

The way permissions are retrieved and saved has been significantly improved: names of available permissions on a target system are now stored in the target snapshot, and the timeout for the permission retrieval script has been increased from 30 seconds to 15 minutes.
These changes resolve issues that occurred when retrieving permissions from systems like Microsoft Exchange, where the previous timeout was frequently exceeded. The use of cached permission names also results in faster load times during business rule configuration.
Available permissions are retrieved in the following situations, provided the cache is older than 24 hours:
  • During enforcement, whether scheduled or started manually.
  • When importing permissions from a target system for an Import target system entitlements report.
  • When creating a Reconciliation report.
To update permissions at any time, click the
Sync
button on the Entitlements tab of a business rule.
