You don’t need to be a manager or admin. **Where it happens:** **Manage Access → Request Access** (/access-hub/access/request-access). **What you’ll need:** A reason for the request (justification) and a sense of how long you need it. As an end user, every request you make here is automatically **for you** — there is no “select a user” step. (That step only appears for managers; see [Request Access for Yourself (Manager)](/home/docs/03-request-access-for-others-manager-admin). ## Step by step ### 1. Open the Request Access page From the left navigation, click **Manage Access**. You’ll land on the **Request Access** page. The fastest alternative: on your **Dashboard**, click the **Request Access** quick action. ### 2. Find the access you want Use the **Browse available access** search box to filter the cards below it. Each card represents a **bundle** or **entitlement group** — a named package of access — and shows its name and description. Don’t see exactly what you need as a bundle? Look for the **“All other available access”** group, which lets you pick individual entitlements. ### 3. Choose a duration and add it to your cart On each card: 1. Pick how long you need the access from the **Duration** selector. Options are **24 Hours, 7 Days, 14 Days, 30 Days, 60 Days, 90 Days,** or **Permanent**. 2. Click **Add to Cart**. The button confirms the item was added. Repeat for every piece of access you want — you can request several things in one go. As you add items, a cart indicator appears showing **“{n} Item(s) in cart.”** ### 4. Review your cart Click **Review Cart** (on the floating cart card) to open the request summary. (Managers see this as a **Review Request Cart** button near the top of the page.) The summary panel — titled **“Selected Entitlement Request Groups”** — shows everything you’re about to submit and lets you finalize the details. ### 5. Finalize the details and submit In the summary panel: 1. Confirm the **“Request access for:”** section lists you. 2. Set the **Duration**. You can either set a duration per item in the table, or check **“Set one duration for all requests”** and pick a single duration that applies to everything. 3. Enter a reason in **Add Justification**. **This is required** — the **Submit Requests** button stays disabled until you’ve entered a justification (and every item has a duration). 4. Review the table of items. You can change an item’s **Duration** inline or click **Remove** to drop it from the request. 5. Click **Submit Requests**. The panel reminds you: *“Duration of access will start from date of approval.”* Your clock starts when the request is approved — not when you submit it. ### 6. Confirmation You’ll see a confirmation that your **Access Requests** were **submitted**, and your cart clears. Your request is now **Pending** and routed to the appropriate approver/resource owner. ## What happens next - Your request goes to the right approver based on your organization’s approval rules. - You can track it from the **Dashboard → My Open Requests** card, or on the **Open Requests** page (/access-hub/access/open-requests), where you’ll see it under your requests with a status of **Pending**. - When it’s decided, the status changes to **Approved** (and the access is provisioned) or **Denied**. The **Approved Requests** and **Denied Requests** Dashboard cards take you straight to those lists. ## Tips & troubleshooting - **The Submit button is greyed out.** You’re missing something required — most often the **justification**, or an item that has no duration set. Fill those in and it enables. - **I requested the wrong thing.** Open the cart summary and click **Remove** next to that item before submitting. If you already submitted, ask your approver to deny it (or submit a corrected request). - **How long until I get access?** That depends on your approver. Nothing is granted until the request is **approved** — and the duration you chose begins counting from that approval date. - **Need it permanently?** Choose **Permanent** as the duration. *Related:* [*Overview*](/home/docs/00-access-hub-overview) *·* [*Request for yourself as a manager*](/home/docs/02-request-access-for-yourself-manager-admin) *·* [*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-01-request-submitted.mp4?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) **Step by step:** ![Open Request Access](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/01-request-access-for-yourself-end-user-image-ozmw23wb.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Open Request Access* ![Search for a Bundle](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/01-request-access-for-yourself-end-user-image-yayh2mxp.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Search for a Bundle* ![Add the Bundle to your Cart](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/01-request-access-for-yourself-end-user-image-vhm9hf5x.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Add the Bundle to your Cart* ![Review your Cart](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/01-request-access-for-yourself-end-user-image-tyj0swix.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Review your Cart* ![Set Duration and Justification](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/01-request-access-for-yourself-end-user-image-mwzi30o9.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Set Duration and Justification* ![Request Submitted](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/01-request-access-for-yourself-end-user-image-rcqlxjlp.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Request Submitted*
