Approval flows in Lark are supported, allowing users to apply for permissions from resource owners. Once approved, applicants receive the corresponding permissions for the requested resources. This lowers the barrier to data usage and shortens the time required for data or IT personnel to grant data permissions. For detailed instructions, see Permission Approval Integration with Lark.

4.5 One-click authorization to send Lark notifications #

Smart Data Insight provides authorization operations through two entry points: the "Authorize" button in the upper right corner of the dashboard, and the "Authorize" option in the pop-up menu of the dashboard or folder in the left dashboard directory. Click the authorize button, select the authorization target and permission level in the pop-up window, and the system will send the dashboard link to the sharing target and grant the corresponding permissions. This step supports sending Lark notifications to the sharing target. This feature is enabled by default, and users can opt out. For detailed instructions, see Authorization and Sharing.
