# Approbators group management

All the data recovery requests enforce a validation process that consists to be approved by all approbators group. In each group, a quorum is defined so, when the quorum is reached, the request is considered validated by the group.

Users authorized to manage approbator groups must have an additional attribute *recovery\_data\_workflow* to acces the administration page. For more information about how the authorizations are granted, see the [grant data recovery permissions page](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/books/former-documentation/page/grant-trustelem-data-recovery-permissions).

A validation group is composed by one or several Trustelem Vault users.
