What approval roles are
Approval roles are reusable groups for governance responsibility. Examples: Finance Reviewer, Billing Owner, Security Reviewer, Revenue Leadership, Data Reviewer.
Why approval roles matter
Roles make governance more stable than assigning individuals. Define that Stripe changes go to Billing Owner, then manage Billing Owner membership separately.
How approval roles are used
Approval roles feed into approval mappings, Coordination Autopilot, reviewer suggestions, and coverage checks.
Best practice
Use approval roles for responsibilities that outlive any single individual.
