Approval Requests

Use the Approval requests feature to stay on top of the topic creation for your organization.

Kafka topic requests

From the Header bar menu, go to Admin panel.
On the side navigation, select Requests under the Audits section.

Creating a new topic request

Request Topic permission has been added to the list of available namespace permissions for Kafka. Users who are granted this permission can now request a topic creation, providing the system administrator with useful information for the requested topic.

The Topic Request happens from the Topic Lists screen.

In the example above, the user requests a topic with a specific set of configurations. Now it’s up to the administrator to accept or reject the request.

Managing a request

Anyone with View Approval Requests permission will be notified when new requests arrive.

A request can either be approved or rejected.

If the request is approved, the Kafka topic is created with the configurations set by the requester
When rejecting a request, the reviewer is prompted to give a reason.
