Approving Patches and Remediation Jobs in SanerCVEM

Purpose:
This article explains how to review, approve, or reject patch approval requests and remediation jobs in Saner Patch Management. It ensures that only validated patches are deployed in controlled environments.

Patch Approval Workflow

Step 1: Request Patch Approval

• Users without approval access cannot deploy patches directly.

• These users must select patches and click Request for Approval.

• The status of those patches becomes Pending for Approval.

Step 2: Approve or Reject Patches

• Users with patch approval access can:

  • Navigate to Missing Patches or Most Critical Patches pages

  • Use the Patch Approval button to approve/reject requests

• Approval Status updates to:

  • Approved

  • Rejected (View rejection reason by clicking the ? icon)

Step 3: View Approved Patches

• Go to the Approved Patches page to view all approved items.

• Use filters to view Approved / Rejected patches.

• Admins can:

  • Reject selected patches

  • Approve rejected patches

  • Remove rejected patches from the list

Remediation Job Approval Workflow

Step 1: Create a Remediation Job

• Users without patch approval access can still create jobs using approved patches.

• These jobs are created but not executed until approved.

Step 2: Approve/Reject Remediation Job

• Users with approval rights go to Patch Management > Status page.

• Click the three-dot menu beside a remediation job.

• Choose Approve Task or Reject Task.

Job Outcomes:

• Approved: The task is sent to the Saner Agent for execution.
