A *Project Administrator* can define the default behavior for his project of whether an initial deployment (AKA creating a new environment) should require an approval to its plan stage.\ As stated, this value represents the **default** behavior only, while a user with a *Deployer* (or above) role can override it upon creation of an environment. Note The default auto-approve value for every consecutive deployment to an existing environment is defined based on the last deployment, and not by its project's default auto-approve setting. For example, if I deploy the *Production* environment with auto-approve as *OFF*, although my default project settings is *ON*, my next deployment would still have a default *OFF* value for auto-approve. This default behavior is configured under the *Policies* Tab of the *Project Settings* page.
