How It Works
From setup to rollout
A requester submits the target system, requested access level, business justification, access window, and supporting evidence.
The security or IT approver reviews scope, risk, and policy fit before approving, rejecting, or asking for clarification.
Fulfillment owners grant approved access, track expiration dates, and remind reviewers before temporary access should be removed.
Completed requests remain searchable for audits, recertification, and future least-privilege reviews.
