Create or approve a request for permissions

  • Artikkeli

This article describes how to create or approve a request for permissions in the Remediation dashboard in Microsoft Entra Permissions Management. You can create and approve requests for the Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) authorization systems.

The Remediation dashboard has two privilege-on-demand (POD) workflows you can use:

  • New Request: The workflow used by a user to create a request for permissions for a specified duration.
  • Approver: The workflow used by an approver to review and approve or reject a user's request for permissions.

Note

To view the Remediation dashboard, you must have Viewer, Controller, or Administrator permissions. To make changes on this tab, you must have Controller or Administrator permissions. If you don't have these permissions, contact your system administrator.

    • Approved: A list of requests that have been reviewed and approved by the approver. These requests have either already been activated or are in the process of being activated.
