Multi-party approval now supports approval team baselining

Multi-party approval (MPA) now supports MPA administrators running test approvals to confirm that their approval team is set up correctly and that approvers are active and reachable. With this new capability, customers ensure their approval teams do not become unresponsive due to natural attrition, incorrect approver selection, or reduced engagement. MPA administrators and security teams can now proactively assess their approval configurations before relying on them for sensitive operations.

The baseline feature enables proactive team health management by allowing manual initiation of test approval sessions through the AWS Organizations console. Customers can verify approver availability, identify inactive team members, and maintain compliance with internal governance requirements. Key use cases include regular team responsiveness verification, recommended every 90 days by AWS using the MPA Console, onboarding validation for new approval configurations, and operation health checks to ensure approval workflows function effectively when needed.

This feature is available in all AWS commercial regions. To learn more about implementing baseline testing for your multi-party approval workflows, visit the Multi-party approval documentation.
