Create or Edit an Approval Process
Rev allows admin users to create a content so that specific users or groups must obtain approval before their uploads may be viewed. Further, the approvers that are set in the approval process may also be user accounts or groups. Only Account Admins and Media Admins are able to create an approval process.
For example, all training materials may need to be approved by a subject matter expert to ensure that information in a video is correct before uploading; or new employees may be placed in a New Hire group with experienced users set as approvers in a New Hire approval process. All uploads created by this group would then be subject to approval by the experienced users and video status will be set to Pending Approval. When the employee is deemed experienced enough, he/she may be removed from this group and no longer subject to approval for uploading.
Additionally, the approval process may be a multi-step approach if different organizational groups need to be involved. For example, you may decide that a video needs to go through both the Sales team and Human Resources before it is approved for public consumption (made Active).
