How Exception Workflows Work

A clear process for handling legitimate exceptions

1
User Requests Exception

When blocked, users can request a one-time exception with a reason.

2
Admin Gets Notified

Workspace admins receive the request via email or dashboard notification.

3
Review & Decide

Admins can approve, deny, or request more information.

4
User Continues

If approved, the user can proceed. All actions are logged.

When You Might Need an Exception
