The SQL quality gate is implemented through the approval workflow configuration: in “Settings → Personal Approval Template”, set the maximum risk level allowed for ticket creation; the system determines the approval process accordingly.

Goal

Configure the approval workflow and the risk-level threshold (Notice, Warning, Critical) to set the maximum risk level for ticket creation and establish a SQL quality gate.

Prerequisites

Access to the “Settings → Personal Approval Template” configuration page and permission to save the approval workflow.
Approval workflow

Approval workflow: the nodes from risk level configuration to execute deployment

Risk level

Risk level applies to the whole ticket, with three levels from lightest to most severe: “Risk Level Configuration” sets the maximum risk level for ticket creation; tickets above that level require a stricter approval flow.

Rule severity vs. risk level

“Rule severity” and “risk level” are two different dimensions; do not confuse them: Rule severity marks how serious a single finding is, see Manage Rules; risk level decides whether a ticket needs a stricter approval flow, configured on this page.

Approval workflow nodes

The approval workflow proceeds through these nodes:

Configuration steps

The approval workflow configuration is a multi-step wizard: configure the risk level first, then the review submission, review nodes, and deployment. Click “Save Configuration” when done. You can click “Reset Configuration” at any time to restore defaults.

Verification

After saving, confirm that the approval workflow shows the configured nodes and that a ticket whose risk level exceeds the threshold requires the stricter approval flow you defined.
