## Roles

| Role             | Task                                | Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------- | -------- |
| Business Steward | <ul><li>Vote for approval</li></ul> | Yes      |
| Stakeholder      | <ul><li>None</li></ul>              | No       |

## Workflow status transformations

Approved assets have the **Accepted** status.

## Start the workflow

The workflow starts when a community manager or business steward selects the **Simple Approval** action on an asset page. You can [edit](/workflows/out-of-the-box-workflows-walk-throughs/approval-process/approval-process-configuration.md#start) the label of this action on the workflow definition page.

## Vote for approval

The business stewards are prompted to vote for approval.

## Result

If the outcome of the vote is positive, the status of the asset is changed to **Accepted** and the stakeholders and the user who started the workflow are notified. If the outcome is negative, the user who started the workflow is notified.
