Quorum Policies
Quorum
Quorum is an authorization policy that requires a minimum number of stakeholders logged in to DPoD to approve a single operation. When a quorum policy is enabled the admin can set a minimum number of approvers. When a user actually creates a quorum request they can customize or increase the number of approvers. The minimum number of votes is 2.
Note
Enabling a policy does not require quorum.

Quorum Steps
-
Quorum request:
User creates a quorum request. The allowed time frame is selected by choosing a start date and time as well as an end date and time. The option for no time limit to keep the login permission continuously active is also available. -
To delete service:
To delete a service, go to Service and select Delete Service. Users can initiate the deletion through the user interface when they receive notification that the quorum has been met. The allowed time frame options available are setting a start and end date and time, or choosing no time limit to keep the permission active indefinitely. -
To cancel service:
The user who created the quorum has the ability to cancel it. Cancellation is also possible while the quorum is in an approved state, which is particularly important for quorums set to remain active until revoked. Additionally, the quorum can be canceled or closed by any of the following users: the creator, someone authorized to use the quorum (such as a member of the same sunscriber group), or any valid user.
