# Set up approvals (Admin)

As an Admin for your company, you will need to do the following to start using the approvals process:

### RFP/RFI users <a href="#rfprfiusers" id="rfprfiusers"></a>

Event owners will need to be a user of request for proposal (RFP) or request for information (RFI) events.

### Create rules <a href="#createrules" id="createrules"></a>

Create automation rules, which determine how events are routed for approval based on event value, business unit, and/or category. For each rule, you will define one or more approvals needed before an event can be opened and sent to suppliers. Only Admin users can set up and maintain rules.
