Requesting Access

The Request Access wizard provides a unified catalog of accesses that you can choose from to provide access for a user. You can request accesses to multiple sets of operations and permissions for the user. Then, you can apply the access items to the roles and groups that you want to be governed by it.

1. From the Identity Manager Service Center Home page, click Request Access.
   • If your view is for self only, the Select Accesses page opens. Go to Step 3.
   • If your view is for others, or self and others, the Select User page opens and the available users are displayed. Continue with Step 2.
2. If you are on the Select User page, click the user for whom you want to select accesses. If you are requesting accesses for yourself, click Select me in the Quick Select menu.
   The Select Accesses page is displayed and the user name is displayed in the Request Summary field.
3. In the Select Accesses page, click to select one or more access items.

   The Request Summary field displays an updated summary about the selected user, the selected accesses, or any error, warning, or information messages about the access selections. Click Request Summary to open and view all the details in the Request Summary catalog. The number of items in the cart is increased for each access that is requested.

   If you want to start your request again, then click Cancel My Request.
