# Approving a Process for Automation

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

This topic is affected by the
[Anypoint Platform integration](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/anypoint-migration-overview).

You approve an evaluated process candidate to refer it to a project manager or a center of
excellence for automation.

## Before You Begin

- Ask an organization administrator in Access Management to assign you the required permissions:

  <table><colgroup><col> <col> <col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Action</th><th>RPA Permission</th><th>Deprecated RPA Permission</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Refer a process for automation to a center of excellence.</p></td><td><p>RPA Evaluations Manager</p></td><td><p>Process Evaluation Approval to a CoE</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Refer a process for automation directly to a project manager.</p></td><td><p>RPA Evaluations Manager</p></td><td><p>Process Evaluation Approval to a Project Manager</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

- You can only approve evaluated process candidates.

- You can only refer processes to users assigned the `Project Management` privilege or user groups
  assigned as `Center of Excellence`.

  If you use an Anypoint account to login to RPA Manager, user groups are replaced by teams and the
  Center of Excellence flag is deprecated. Ensure that the team you refer a process to has the
  required RPA permissions for automating the process.

## Select a Process for Approval

You can automate processes that have ratings for feasibility. Consider the benefits before
automating a process. Automate simple processes first.

1.  Filter the process list in the **Process Evaluation** view of the **Process Evaluation** module
    to show only newly-created evaluations.

2.  View the **Process Matrix**. If you cannot see it, click **Expand**
    (![less-than symbol in a green half-circle](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-manager/_images/expand-imagebutton.png)).

3.  Hover over the dots to see the names of the corresponding processes.

4.  Click one of the toggle-dots in the upper right half of the matrix to select it and to display
    only the corresponding processes.

## Approve a Process

Approve the selected process to refer it to a project manager or a center of excellence for
automation.

After approval, the process is also displayed either in the personal backlog of the project manager
(**My RPA** - **My Backlog**) or in the team backlog of the center of excellence (**My RPA** -
**Team Backlog**).

1.  In the **Process Evaluation** view of the **Process Evaluation** module, click **Approve** in
    the row of the evaluation you want to approve.

2.  Choose a user or a center of excellence as **Project Manager**.

3.  Click **OK**.
