#### Workflow Approval Nodes
The workflow approval node feature enables users to add steps in a workflow in between nodes within workflows so that a user (as long as they have approval permissions, explained in further detail below) can give the "yes" or "no" to continue on to the next step in the workflow.
**RBAC Setup for Workflow Approval Nodes**
A user can _create_ a workflow approval if they are:
- a Superuser
- an Org Admin of the organization connected to the workflow
- a Workflow Admin in the organization connected to the workflow
- assigned as admins to a particular workflow
A user can _approve_ a workflow when they are:
- a Superuser
- a Workflow Admin
- an Organization Admin
- any user who has explicitly been assigned the "approver" role
A user can _view_ approvals if they:
- have Read access to the associated Workflow Job Template
**Other Workflow Approval Node Features**
A timeout can be set for each approval node. This field defaults to `0` for no expiration.
### DAG Formation and Restrictions ### DAG Formation and Restrictions
The DAG structure of a workflow is enforced by associating workflow job template nodes via endpoints `/workflow_job_template_nodes/\d+/*_nodes/`, where `*` has options `success`, `failure` and `always`. There is one restriction that is enforced when setting up new connections and that is the cycle restriction, since it's a DAG.
