Participating in a workflow

• •Your organization administrator grants you the relevant permissions for an asset so that you can create or modify the asset and approve or reject a workflow request. For more information about the assets and permissions required to participate in workflows, see Prerequisites for workflows.
• •In Metadata Command Center, the administrator must add your user role as a stakeholder in the workflow of the relevant asset type. For more information about how an administrator designs workflows, see the Designing a workflow topic in Metadata Command Center.
Note: Ensure that the latest user that modified the asset is added as a stakeholder on the asset with the following permissions:
• - To reject workflows for creating a new asset, ensure that the user is assigned the Delete permission for the business asset types or data access asset types configured through access policies in Metadata Command Center.
• - To reject workflows for modifying an existing asset, ensure that the user is assigned the Read and Update permissions on the Unpublished Changes attribute group for the technical, business or data access asset types configured through access policies in Metadata Command Center.

1Open a ticket.
For more information about how you can open a ticket, see Viewing a ticket.

The Lifecycle value of the associated asset changes according to how the administrator has designed the workflow in Metadata Command Center. The system starts the workflow associated with the asset and notifies the stakeholder that is defined next in the workflow.
If you modify the stakeholder of the asset, the newly added stakeholder receives notifications for the active workflow tasks that are associated with the asset. Data Governance and Catalog sends only new task notifications to the newly added stakeholder. Notifications that were sent before the stakeholder was added will not be reissued to the new stakeholder.
