Introduction to governance policies

Explore governance policies in Cobo Portal, defining approval rules for operations to ensure structured and secure management.

Overview

Governance policies determine the approval rules under which an operation will be approved or rejected. Approval rules include auto rejection, auto approval, approval quorum, and customized workflow. Governance policies are categorized into five types: Members, Organizations, Wallets, Developers, and User Roles.

Available governance policies

To see the full list of available governance policies, log into Cobo Portal, click the profile icon at the bottom left corner, and choose Organization. Then, click the Governance Policies tab, and click either of the Members, User Roles, Organization, Wallets, or Developers tabs to view the associated governance policies.

The default approval rule for all governance policies requires approval from at least 50% of the organization’s Admin users. You can modify these approval requirements to better suit your organization’s needs.
