Yep,

here the feedback of vMware support team....

These are the steps I have followed:

-Created a new AD user called Manager_User

-Created a new AD group called Manager_Group and added Manager_User to this group

-Created a new AD user called Regular_user

-Created a New BG called Manager_Approval_BG

-Added Manager_Group to the Manager Role on  Manager_Approval_BG

-Added Regular_User to the User role on Manager_Approval_BG

-Associated catalog items and reservations to the new BG

-Created approval policy Destroy_Manager_Approval

           Approvers: Determine Approvers from the request

                                       Business Group>Managers>Group

           Policy Type: Service Catalog - Resource Action Request - Destroy - Deployment

After that I deployed few VMs as Regular_User and, after the deployment succeed, I tried to destroy the deployment. When I did that the user Manager_User received an e-mail asking to approve this action. That is the expected scenario.

And that's works but just when you create a new BG only. :smileyangry:

For the old BG, it's not possible to repair the approvals policy. :smileycry:
