Octopus Approvals

Octopus Approvals is a lightweight deployment-gating feature designed for organizations that need stronger controls than manual intervention steps provide but do not require a full ITSM change-management platform such as ServiceNow or Jira Service Management. Available in public preview for Octopus Cloud customers and in the 2026.3 Server release, it requires designated team members to approve deployments before they begin in selected environments, with configurable rules for approval counts, teams, project and environment tags, and restrictions preventing deployment creators from approving their own changes. Rules operate at the space level and can cover multiple projects, while approved releases can be redeployed to the same environment without renewed approval to support rollbacks. Rejections fail the deployment and require a new deployment request, while audit logs, approval history, and subscriptions for email, Slack, Teams, or webhooks provide visibility and notifications. Current limitations include shared approval counts across specified teams, no automated approvals, and support only for deployments rather than runbooks.
