Overview#
Decision Mode sets how many Admins must agree before a key Team decision takes effect. It is a Team-level governance mechanism that prevents settings affecting asset security from being changed by one person alone.Decision Mode governs changes to Team configuration, not the release of individual transactions. Whether a transaction needs approval, and who approves it, is determined by the Policy Engine and Approval Nodes.What it covers#
The following operations affect asset security and require Admin approval:Activating a transfer policy
Configuring the whitelist
Changing member permissions
Changing Decision Mode itself
Configuring and activating#
Once multi-admin governance is enabled, specify how many Admins must agree to a key decision, expressed as "approvals required / total Admins." The minimum is 1 and the maximum is the current number of Admins. A Team can have up to 7 Admins.Changing Decision Mode is itself a key decision and requires the agreement of all current Admins.Decision Mode takes effect once every Admin has completed joining. While any Admin is still Pending, Decision Mode is not yet active and the Team Creator decides alone during that period.Some decisions require both clients. Editing a transfer policy, for example, is submitted in the Web Console, which then generates a QR code for an Admin to scan in the app to complete approval.Limitations#
The number of approvals required cannot exceed the number of Admins available. If Admins are unavailable, decisions covered by Decision Mode cannot be completed.While a Decision Mode change is pending approval, the previous rule remains in effect.Things to note#
How strict Decision Mode should be depends on the size of your Team. Setting the required number too high risks key settings being unchangeable when an Admin is unavailable; setting it too low weakens the checks that multi-admin governance is meant to provide.Once a Team invites Admins and enters multi-admin governance, it cannot revert to sole decision-making by the Team Creator. The number of Admins is fixed when first set, in a range of 2 to 7. Confirm that your Team genuinely needs multi-admin governance before enabling it.Modified at 2026-08-26 02:51:05
