How It Works
From setup to rollout
A requester submits the folder path, access level, business reason, owner, and expiry requirement.
The data owner reviews the request and approves, rejects, or asks for more context.
IT fulfills approved access, records the completion date, and updates the request status.
Dashboards show open requests, overdue approvals, upcoming expirations, and removal tasks.
Completed records preserve approval history, fulfillment evidence, and removal notes for audit review.
