To enable the Request Approval workflow in Canvas Studio, approval workflow should be activated and an authentication access should be provided to the administrators to enable them to process the requests.
Perform the following steps on the Canvas schema:
In the CT_REQ_MDLR_AUTHFLOW table, change the type of authentication from noauth to foureye or sixeye and make changes to the AUTH_FLOW column accordingly. A sample entry is provided as follows:

For the full set of information on Request Approval workflow, refer the following pages:
- Approving Components
- Initiating Requests
- Approving Requests
- Rejecting Requests
- Re-submission of Rejected Requests
The Request Approval in Canvas Studio paves the way for an effective mechanism in managing configuration data or metadata. When any Canvas component (e.g. forms, templates, shortcuts, shortcut containers etc.) is created by a Canvas Studio user, the configuration data or metadata of those components gets stored in the Canvas schema. Canvas administrators or users, who possess the privilege of Canvas administrator, can then approve or reject those Canvas components. The approval workflow is even applicable for editing and deleting the components. The following steps provide precise information on the request approval workflow in Canvas Studio.
Request Approval Workflow
Note: The Request Approval workflow is applicable only for Forms, Form Containers, Events, Template, Shortcuts, Shortcut Containers, Entitlements and Reports.Initiating Requests
To initiate a request, the Canvas Studio user must create Canvas components, such as forms, templates, shortcuts, reports, entitlements and events. Let's assume that the user needs to create a form.
Click Create >Form.
The Create/Edit Form page appears. 
...
A confirmation message, indicating a successful initiation of the request, appears. 
- Click Ok.
