# Define policy extension approval rules

Enable the GRC Approval Configurator from the Policy and Compliance Properties page to allow multiple approvers for policy extension approvals, replacing the single default approver \(Compliance Manager\).

To enhance flexibility in policy extension approvals, enable the **GRC Approval Configurator** from the **Policy and Compliance Properties** page. This configuration allows multiple approvers to be designated, thereby overcoming the previous constraint of relying on a single default approver, namely the Compliance Manager.
