Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
The statement is incorrect. Identity Security Cloud does not use majority voting within a Governance Group for an access-request approval step. When a Governance Group is configured as a reviewer, only one eligible member of that Governance Group is required to approve or deny the request on behalf of the group .
SailPoint explains that when an access request reaches a Governance Group, its members receive the applicable review assignment. Once one member makes the decision, the review is treated as completed for that Governance Group and disappears from the other members' pending approval lists.
This should not be confused with a multi-step approval process containing several separate reviewers. If the access item is configured with multiple required reviewer stages, each required stage must approve before provisioning occurs. However, a Governance Group itself represents one reviewer stage, and that stage does not require approval from 50%, a majority, or every member.
Therefore, requiring a majority of Governance Group members is not how standard Identity Security Cloud Governance Group approvals operate.
