Approval groups can be used to manually group a bunch of Core Identity into a group that then serve as an approval group for assignements of either a Role or a Resource. Whenever a new assignement between a Core Identity and such a role or resource is set, the members of the approval groups reveive a notification and are asked to either approve or decline this assignment. If multiple approval groups are set, then the approval of each group will be required.
