Self-Service Application Access

In certain cases, users who are not application owners or editors may require specific types of access to an application. For example:

  • An end user may require web access to sensitive applications that have access control on the network level.
  • Developers who use an external API may need to pull data from servers that are protected by firewalls.
  • A system administrator who is not on the application team may need to access an application server to perform maintenance operations.

The types of access users need are usually known in advance. The application owner can define this connectivity using SecureApp, and then allow users to submit application access requests through a designated portal – the Application Access Portal.

Allow Users to Request Access to Applications

  1. You must define access to an application with a self-service group
  2. A user must request access from the Application Access Portal
  3. You must process the request for access
