# Change banner approval status

`POST https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/banner/{bannerId}/approvalstatus.do`

Sets the approval status of the specified banner to one of: NEW, PENDING, APPROVED, or REJECTED. When the status changes to APPROVED or REJECTED, notification events are sent to all users who have a share on the banner's advertiser. If the banner already has the requested status, the operation is a no-op and returns a message. Requires the BANNERS_APPROVAL permission.
