# Configure self-approval rules

> Create workspace rules that control who can self-approve which promotions.

## Before you start

You need access to workspace compliance settings. Open **Settings**, then go to
**Workspace**, **Compliance**, and **Self Approval**.

<Note>
  This page applies to workspaces using configurable self-approval rules.
  Workspaces using legacy review permissions manage self-approvers from the
  review permissions page.
</Note>

## Create a rule

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a rule">
    Select **Add rule** and enter a name that explains its purpose.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose channels">
    Apply the rule to every channel or select the channels it covers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose products">
    Apply the rule to every product or select the products it covers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose jurisdictions">
    Apply the rule to every jurisdiction or select the jurisdictions it covers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose eligible people">
    Target named users, a role, or everyone in the workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the AI requirement">
    Select **Nothing**, **All Adclear AI comments answered**, or **No modifications required**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Review the scope and save the rule. Adclear applies it to future
    self-approval checks in this workspace.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How matching rules are selected

A rule must match every dimension configured on it. For example, a rule scoped
to one product and one jurisdiction applies only when both match.

When more than one rule matches the promotion:

1. a rule for the named user takes priority;
2. otherwise, a rule for the user's role takes priority;
3. otherwise, a rule for everyone is used.

If several rules match at that same level, the stricter AI requirement applies.
Adclear does not rank one rule above another because it has a narrower product,
channel, or jurisdiction scope.

## AI requirements

| Setting                          | What the uploader must do                        |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Nothing                          | Approve regardless of Adclear AI review comments |
| All Adclear AI comments answered | Reply to every comment on the latest version     |
| No modifications required        | Finish the review with nothing flagged           |

## Check a rule

After saving:

* confirm the intended users or roles are included;
* test a promotion that matches every selected dimension;
* test one promotion outside the scope; and
* confirm the expected AI requirement is enforced.

<Warning>
  An empty rule set does not grant self-approval. Add at least one matching rule
  before enabling self-approval on promotions.
</Warning>
