27.1 Understanding Access Request

The Access Request interface allows users to monitor and request access for items that are available in their organization. The Identity Governance Access Request interface allows users to:

  • Review their current access or the access for other users

  • Review access that is recommended for them based on business role policies

  • Browse application access that is available to request

  • Browse Access Profiles to request a group of permissions in a single step

  • Retract access request

  • Retry failed request after fixing the cause of the error

  • Compare access of multiple users

  • Approve requests

  • Review a list of access requests, status of each request, and a timeline of all related events including fulfillment

Administrators can configure the Access Request interface to provide access that is pre-approved or can be automatically routed for approval. For example, you can make access to an application available for anyone in your organization to request. Upon request, the access might be automatically granted based on the requester’s business role membership or routed to another person for approval, such as the requester’s supervisor or the application owner.
