# Update an approval rule

> 

URL: https://pgbeam.com/docs/api/approvals/updateApprovalRule

Replaces the rule's name, statement kinds, scope, row threshold and
enabled flag. An approval request already held keeps the name it was
held under.

Returns 409 when the update leaves the rule enabled while the
organization has a live self-hosted data plane enrollment, for the same
reason as create. Setting enabled to false is still accepted.
