# Risk Engine: Manual Review

With the Connector Setting **Risk Engine: Manual Review Requirements** and **Risk Engine: Manual Review Delay** you can implement a manual review step for different transaction flow scenarios. (e.g. [Secure Payouts](https://documentation.ixopay.com/manual/docs/risk-management/review-list/secure-payouts)). This setting is used in combination with the available [risk rules defined in risk profiles](https://documentation.ixopay.com/manual/docs/risk-management/risk-profiles/overview) to configure the conditions for transactions to be marked for manual review. You can then add as many User Roles or Users as you want to approve the transaction in their [Review List](https://documentation.ixopay.com/manual/docs/risk-management/review-list) before the transaction flow can continue or set a delay time period after that the manual review is approved/declined automatically.

To configure the connector setting Risk Engine: Manual Review Requirements follow this steps:

1. Go to the **Connector Detail Overview** of the desired Connector
2. Click Edit on the **Settings** section (see Connector Detail Overview)
3. Select the Connector Setting **Risk Engine: Manual Review Requirements** and click **Add** (see Connector Settings)
4. Click **Add** to create a new parameter **Required Reviews by Role** or **Required Reviews by User** (see Required Reviews by parameter). You can add as many parameters as you want.
5. **Select** Role or User from the dropdown menu and click **Save**. Only pre-defined Roles and Users are available.
