  3. Select a new status according to these criteria.

    Note

    An Organization Administrator can require approval before some vulnerabilities can be closed.

    If this is the case, you will be required to submit a reason for your your status change, and it will be set to Pending until it can be reviewed by an an Organization Administrator or a RulesAdmin. Hover over Pending in the Status column to see the date it was submitted.

    You may change the status of a pending vulnerability. If approval isn't required for the new status, the vulnerability is no longer marked as Pending.

    You will receive a notification when your status change request is approved or denied by an administrator. If denied, the vulnerability will go back to its previous state; but, the administrator must provide a reason for the decision. That reason will appear in the vulnerability's Activity tab.

  4. In the window that appears, select a reason (in the case of Not a problem) and enter an explanation for the status change. It is possible to set a custom reason that vulnerabilities are Not a problem.
