What it does
Shows or hides the Approvals page (Reviews & controls > Approvals): the second-person queue where an offboarding, revoke or sensitive change is raised, approved or denied by a different admin, and executed.
When enabled
Reviews & controls > Approvals is listed in the menu after the next page reload, with its count of waiting requests. (Whether its live data loads is decided separately under Settings > Governance preview.)
When disabled
After the next page reload the page is hidden from the menu and tab strip. The approval requirement itself is NOT switched off: changes that need a second approver still wait for one -- they simply cannot be found from the menu. The page is turned off also through a direct link; approvals raised from other pages still work.
Risk and how to reverse it
Medium: requests waiting for approval can sit unnoticed and the changes behind them never run. A mail's "Open in PIM Manager" link (/?tab=approvals) shows "this page is turned off" instead. Reversible: switch it on and reload; waiting requests are kept.
Requires
SuperAdmin role to change. Free (Community) and Pro. Settings > Governance preview decides whether the page is live or shown as a preview.
Recommended
On whenever you use second-approver rules, so approvers can find what waits for them.
