Certificate Approval Policy

A Certificate Approval Policy makes certificate operations wait for a person: issuing, renewing, exporting with the key, deploying or deleting. It can also refuse an operation outright.

Applies to

Who can do this

Monopam v2026.10

Administrators with permission to manage policies. Approvers decide in Requests.

  1. Open Policies, click Add New and choose Certificate Approval Policy as the type.

  2. Choose the operations the policy governs.

  3. On the Rules tab, say which certificates it applies to (for example by issuer, domain or owner), and whether a match asks for approval or is not allowed. Exceptions exclude certificates.

  4. Name the approvers and save.

When an operation matches, it stops and a request appears in Requests. Depending on the operation, it either runs by itself after approval, or the operator gets a short window to repeat it.
