# Four-eyes principle

The four-eyes principle, also known as a dual approval workflow, requires a second authorized person to approve actions so changes occur only after an independent review.

In Remote Desktop Manager, define requesters who can initiate view, create, or delete operations but cannot execute them until approval is granted. Assign approvers through roles and permission sets, specify which operations require approval, and apply time-limited approvals to a specific entry or folder. All requests and decisions are logged for auditing and compliance.
