The only meaningful difference from the end-user flow is the **Select User** field at the top of the page. As a manager you can request for yourself, for team members, or both. To request for yourself, simply leave the field set to you. To request for others, see [Request Access for Others (Manager)](/home/docs/03-request-access-for-others-manager-admin). ## Step by step ### 1. Open the Request Access page Click **Manage Access** in the left navigation (or use the **Request Access** quick action on the Dashboard). ### 2. Confirm the request is for you At the top of the page is a **Select User** field. Because you’re a manager, this control is visible and it is **pre-filled with your own account** by default. - To request **for yourself**, leave **Select User** as-is (just you). - The field supports selecting more than one person, so make sure no extra people are selected if this request is meant for you alone. You must have at least one person selected before you can add items to your cart. If the cart button is disabled, check that **Select User** still has you (or someone) selected. ### 3. Browse and add access to your cart Use **Browse available access** to search, then on each bundle/entitlement card: 1. Choose a **Duration** — **24 Hours, 7 Days, 14 Days, 30 Days, 60 Days, 90 Days,** or **Permanent**. 2. Click **Add to Cart**. Add as many items as you need. A counter shows **“{n} Item(s) in cart.”** ### 4. Review the cart Click **Review Request Cart** (top of the page, shows the item count) or **Review Cart** on the floating cart card. The summary panel **“Selected Entitlement Request Groups”** opens. ### 5. Finalize and submit In the summary panel: 1. Confirm **“Request access for:”** shows **you**. 2. Set the **Duration** — per item, or check **“Set one duration for all requests”** to apply a single duration to everything. 3. Fill in **Add Justification** — **required**. 4. Adjust the item table if needed (change a **Duration**, or **Remove** an item). 5. Click **Submit Requests**. You’ll get a confirmation that your **Access Requests** were **submitted**, and the cart clears. Reminder shown in the panel: *“Duration of access will start from date of approval.”* ## What happens next - The request becomes **Pending** and is routed to the appropriate approver/resource owner. - Track it on the **Dashboard → My Open Requests** card or on the **Open Requests** page. Use the **My Requests** toggle to see just the requests made by or for you. - It resolves to **Approved** (access provisioned) or **Denied**. **Note:** Requesting access *for yourself* does **not** mean you approve it yourself. It still follows your organization’s approval routing. Approving requests is a separate task — see [Approve a Request](/home/docs/04-approve-a-request). ## Tips & troubleshooting - **The cart button is disabled.** You need both at least one item selected **and** at least one person in **Select User**. As a manager the user field can be emptied — re-select yourself. - **I accidentally added a teammate.** Remove them from the **Select User** field before submitting, or remove items from the cart summary. Otherwise the request will be created for them too. - **Submit is greyed out.** You’re missing a **justification** or a **duration** on an item. *Related:* [*Overview*](/home/docs/00-access-hub-overview) *·* [*Request for yourself as an end user*](/home/docs/01-request-access-for-yourself-end-user) *·* [*Request for others*](/home/docs/03-request-access-for-others-manager-admin) ## 📹 Visual walkthrough A short, captioned screen recording of this flow (each step highlights the control that’s clicked): [Video](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/clip-02-choose-who-to-request-for.mp4?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T08%3A08%3A47Z&se=2026-10-27T09%3A08%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5YWWvGqAPVrBayUgLc70NJXT76v2cgd6Xd1GyKDcjwM%3D) **Step by step:** ![Choose Who to Request for](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/02-request-access-for-yourself-manager-admin-image-cd7neob7.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T08%3A08%3A47Z&se=2026-10-27T09%3A08%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5YWWvGqAPVrBayUgLc70NJXT76v2cgd6Xd1GyKDcjwM%3D) *Choose Who to Request for*
