Syntax
Approve-QARSApprovalTask [-Task] <TaskIdentityParameter> [-Connection <ArsConnection>] [-ConnectionAccount <string>] [-ConnectionPassword <SecureString>] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Proxy] [-Reason <string>] [-Service <string>] [-UseGlobalCatalog] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
Use this cmdlet to approve change requests that require your approval in ActiveRoles Server. You can take an object returned by the Get-QARSApprovalTask cmdlet and pipe that object into this cmdlet in order to complete the respective approval task with the Approve resolution.
Every change request that requires your approval has an approval task for you to allow or deny the requested changes. When you complete your approval task with the Approve resolution, you allow the changes. Note that the changes may also require approval by other persons. In this case, the changes are applied only after all approval tasks (including yours) are completed with the Approve resolution. For more information about approval tasks, see description of the Get-QARSApprovalTask cmdlet.
The cmdlet has optional parameters that determine the server and the security context for the operation. The connection parameters could be omitted since a connection to a server is normally established prior to using this cmdlet. In this case, the server and the security context are determined by the Connect-QADService cmdlet.
If you do not use Connect-QADService and have no connection established prior to using a cmdlet, then the connection settings, including the server and the security context, are determined by the connection parameters of the first cmdlet you use. Subsequent cmdlets will use those settings by default.
Note that this cmdlet requires a connection to the ActiveRoles Server Administration Service, so the Proxy parameter must be used to establish a connection.
