Access Requests Detail Page

After selecting on an access request in the Change Management Taskboard, the details page for that access request is displayed.

Info Tab

The Info tab is used to display more detailed information about the access request such as who reported the issue and who is assigned to the request, change controls and their status, and so on. Refer to the following table for more information:

Field/Option

Description

Status

Displays the status of the request.

  • Needs Approval - The request requires pre-approval. The Responses area on the right side of the page displays the change control that's required and which roles are required to pre-approve.

  • Provisioning - The request has been created and approved (if pre-approval is required), but it has not been resolved. To take action on the request, select the I Resolved button.

    If you don't see the "I Resolved" button, you do not have authorization to resolve the request.

  • Verifying - The request has been resolved, but still needs to be verified. To take action on the request, select the I Verified button.

  • Scheduled - The request has been created and approved (if pre-approval is required), but it is scheduled to occur on a specific day in the future.

  • Snoozed - Applies only to the "Restore" step of leaves of absence. The "Suspend" step has been completed, but the return date is still unknown so the restore step has been put on pause until a future date or until the request has been resumed.

  • Completed - The request has been resolved and verification was completed (if required). No more actions need to be taken.

  • Cancelled - The request was cancelled before it could be completed.

This area is displayed on the right side of the page. It provides an overall look at the controls required to complete the request (see example below).

Standard controls include: approval, provision or deprovision actions (which could include transition in, transition out, suspend, or restore actions), and verification. Permission Assist Administrators are able to define rules for these workflows within the System Configuration > General Settings > Taskboards > Access Requests > Workflows tab.

 

 

Details Tab

The Details tab provides the details of the changes that need to be made according to the request.

Field/Option

Description

User

Displays more detailed information about the application user associated with the access request. For personnel events, it may also display requested changes.

Applicable or Chosen Enrollments

Displays the Entitlement Roles associated with the affected Identity.

Requested Privilege Changes

Displays a list of privileges associated with this request along with the changes requested by the reporter (see example below).

  • The Initial column displays the permissions the user had either when the review started (for remediation requests) or when the personnel event was created (for personnel events). These permissions will not change once the review is started.

  • The Now column displays the permissions the user has as of the most recent import. These permissions are updated as new application data is imported, so you can use this column, along with the Approved and Action columns, to verify that changes were made correctly.

  • The Approved column shows you whether the user should have access to the permission based on their Entitlement Role.

  • The Action column indicates which action is being requested. The symbol indicates the request is to add permission. The symbol indicates the request is to remove permission.

 

 

Provisioning Tab

The Provisioning tab allows you to view detailed instructions about how to make the changes required by the access request or personnel event. If the application is integrated with Permission Assist, you can use Permission Assist to automate the process of making the application changes.

 

Comments Tab

The Comments tab allows you to view comments that have been added to the request or add new comments to provide additional information as needed. Typically, comments are used to document the reason for resolving a request or to communicate between the Provision Engineer and the reviewer or other Provision Engineers. If a request is created as part of the review process, the comments added by the reviewer are included here when the access request is created.

Comments are saved for historical and auditing purposes and cannot be edited or removed after they've been added.
