How does Multi-admin verification affect Commvault Intellisnap snapshot deletion?

We want to start using multi-admin verification and one of the things we were thinking about is a rule for “volume snapshot delete”, but the question came to mind…what about Commvault created snapshots? I’ve searched it to death, but I can’t find anything that would exempt an application created snapshot. NetApp snapshot policies delete snaps based on policy and don't require approval as far as I can tell. Is anyone using MA verification with Commvault and, if so, how has your experience been?

So, through our VAR partner we found you can create the rule below, this will work if the snapshot name includes the format below (ours always has SP_2 in the name) then this will allow for deletion without triggering MAV. Any other snapshot deletion will require MAV.

security multi-admin-verify rule create -operation "volume snapshot delete" -auto-request-create true -query "-snapshot !SP_2*" -required-approvers 1 -approval-groups mavgroup
