Provision Approvals

If you want to use approvals (opens new window) in your Dataverse environment, you'll have to provision them first.

Check for Provisioned Solutions

The environment might have approvals already provisioned. You can easily check that in solutions. However, if you are sure that the environment does not have approvals provisioned, or you do not know what solutions are used for, feel free to skip this step and continue with the rest of the guide.

1. Open solutions on the environment
2. Check for following solution logical names
   • msdyn_FlowApprovals
   • msdyn_FlowApprovalsCore

If these solutions are not there, you will have to perform the following.

How to Provision Approvals

1. Navigate to the environment you want to provision the approvals for
2. Select Flows from the left navigation menu and add a new instant flow
3. Name the flow, choose a manual trigger, and create the flow
4. Add the action Start and wait for an approval
5. Fill out the action details as bellow, assign the approval to yourself and save the flow
6. Now test the flow manually
7. Once your flow is running, solutions will be provisioned on the background
8. Cancel the running flow by navigating back to the flow card and reopening the run you have triggered
9. You can go back and delete the flow; provisioning will not be canceled on the background
10. Wait up to 15 minutes and check for provisioned solutions
