The Four Eyes Approval feature is a security mechanism that requires the approval of another console operator who is a member of a specified role before an action can be executed. This feature is useful for preventing unauthorized or accidental actions that could affect the endpoints in the BigFix deployment. To enable this feature, you need to follow these steps:
Use the BigFix Administration Tool to add the useFourEyesAuthentication advanced option and set its value to true.
Restart the BES Root Server service and the BigFix Console.
Create a role for the approvers and add one or more operators to it.
Select the Actions Require Approval option for the operators who need to get approval for their actions and choose the approvers role from the drop-down list.
When an operator takes an action that requires approval, they will see a dialog box asking them to enter the credentials of an approver. The action will be pending until an approver logs in and approves it. References:

Has anyone tried SAML Authentication with Four-Eyes authentication?
