List approval step rows
Platform module
GET/approval-stepsapprovalSteps.list
An ordered step of an approval policy (1030). It names its approvers: everyone holding a role, or one member. Steps change only while the policy is a Draft (approval_step_policy_not_draft: 422). Returns a cursor page of approval step rows the caller may see. The default order is `approval_policy_id`, then `step_order` ascending. Supports sparse fieldsets and the filter grammar.
- Requires the capability org.settings.read.
- OAuth scopes: org.
- Cursor-paginated: limit, cursor, fields, sort and filter apply.
- Error statuses: 400, 401, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
