Modify the Admin Quorum Number

The Admin Quorum is the minimum number of organization administrators required to approve sensitive organization changes such as policy definitions, participation in high-risk operations, and more.

For example, your company policy may require an admin quorum of three to accept a new user to Fordefi.
