# Approve or deny a quorum control request

Approve or deny a quorum control request from Key Management Transactions.

## About this task

When a quorum request has been created, the minimum number of approvals is required by the members. After a withdrawal operation workflow is triggered, quorum actions can be managed using several methods. The users can grant approvals from the Key Management Operations page, My Approvals in the Instance, or directly from the request email. The key withdrawal operation is blocked until the quorum is met.

This procedure describes how to approve or deny a quorum request from the Key Management Operations page.

## Before you begin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Cloud Encryption Key Management** > **Key Management Transactions** > **Quorum Control Approvers**.

2.  Select your user name from the table.
