Permissions
By default, both contributors and administrators are authorized to manage asset statuses and thus are allowed to request validation within workspaces. Administrators have this capability across all workspaces, while contributors are limited to managing asset statuses within the workspaces they have created.

The ask for approval feature is especially designed to enhance collaborative efforts in creative projects. This feature allows users to select assets within a workspace and initiate an approval request with a simple click on "Ask for approval". By opening a user-friendly popup, team members can be designated as approvers, setting the stage for a structured validation process.
