Approval modes compared, from ask-for-everything to auto-run (real run)
The same request is sent under each approval mode so you can see exactly what changes, and what never does: a destructive request still waits for a person, and a never-allowed command is blocked.
Transcript
- The same request is sent on a Windows test machine under each approval mode in turn.
- Under Ask for everything, every step waits for a technician, including read-only ones.
- Under Auto-run safe commands, the approval card lists only the change, and read-only steps run on their own.
- Under Auto-run everything, this request's steps run without a card.
- Even then, a destructive request still waits for a person and is denied, and the Security page shows a never-allowed command as blocked.
- No mode overrides a restart: restarting a machine always asks, at every level.
