# Add an approver

Users added to the False Positive, Unassign, Exception Approver group can approve findings and remediation tasks \(VULs\). Granting a false positive, unassign, exception is a single-level approval process.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **** > **User Administration** > **Groups**.

2.  In the **Name** column, search and select the appropriate option.

3.  On the Group form, navigate to > > \(or **Group members** > **New** > **Edit**\).

4.  On the User form, create a record by entering the user details, and click **Submit**.

    All roles are granted to the user. The selected users are added to the Group Members list. These members can approve requests to mark VIs or remediation tasks as false positive. Once approved, the state of the record is updated to Closed and it is reopened only on the specified date.
