    To confirm a multi-approval requirement, you can set up an access policy in Microsoft Intune that requires multiple admin approvals for certain actions. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Create an Access Policy: Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center and navigate to Tenant administration > Multi Admin Administration > Access policies. Select Create to set up a new policy.
    2. Add Approvers: On the Approvers page, you can add groups that will act as approvers for this policy. This allows you to configure the requirement for multiple approvals.
    3. Review and Finalize: After creating the policy, use a separate administrative account to review and approve it. Once finalized, the configurations for the protected profile type will require multiple admin approvals.

    Regarding whether multiple approvals can be agreed upon at the same time, this typically depends on the workflow setup within your organization. In some systems, approvals can be processed simultaneously, while in others, they may need to be sequential. You would need to check the specific configurations of your approval workflows.

    Hi @Winnie Chou,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Regarding to your question, Microsoft Teams Approvals does supports multi‑approver requests. You can send one approval to several people and choose whether any one approval is enough or everyone must approve. However, there isn’t a way for a single person to "agree for multiple approvers at the same time", each assigned approver must submit their own response.

    You can see: Get started with approvals

    In Teams Approvals, "multi approval" include:

    • Everyone must approve (parallel): The request is sent to all approvers at once and the flow waits until everybody has responded (or stops if one rejects).
      Reference: Create an approval flow that requires everyone to approve
    • First to respond: The request completes as soon as any approver approves or rejects.

    Here are a few steps you can follow to achieve it:

    1/ Open Approvals in Teams > New approval request.

    2/ Add the approvers in the Assigned to field.

    3/ Turn on Require response in the assign order if you need.

    4/ Send the request, each approver will get a card and can Approve/Reject from Teams or the Approvals app. (Approvals created via SharePoint/Lists also surface in the Teams Approvals app.)

    Reference: Approvals in Lists & Document Libraries

    5/ In some advanced scenarios:

    • Everyone must approve > waits for all approvers (stops if one rejects).
    • Approve/Reject - First to respond > completes when any approver responds.
    • Custom responses (wait for one / wait for all) and Sequential approvals are also available if you need ordered steps or custom outcomes.

    You can use Power Automate to achieve them.

    Furthermore, to ensure you receive the most accurate and expert guidance, if you have any questions about Power Automate process, I recommend posting your query on the Find Answers | Microsoft Power Platform Community.
