Restrict self-approval on software deployments
September 2026
Turn on "Prevent self-approval" in Settings > Software Deployment > Security controls > Deployment approval, and the person who created a deployment plan or package loses the ability to approve their own submission. Another user with approval permissions has to sign off instead, turning the existing approval toggle into a real segregation-of-duties control for regulated and security-conscious teams. From v3.21 onwards on Pro and above plans. Cloud and on-prem.
→ You'll love it if an auditor has asked who approved a deployment and the honest answer was "the same person who created it."
