Requesting access from profile
During the create request process, users have the option to request access by choosing profiles. Profiles are pre-selected collections of entitlements which are specific to a particular job function (e.g., HR assistant).
- Select My Info, and then select the Access Request tab under the profile avatar. Select Create request for myself.
- Select Select rights from profile.
- Enter the name of the access profile in the Search Filter text field to filter the listing of profiles. Select the access profile from the list and select Submit.
- Enter the duration that you would like to request for each entitlement by selecting the corresponding pencil icon from the right-hand column.
- Time unit. Select the interval from the dropdown. The options are hours, days, months and years.
- Count. Enter the number of time units requested for the entitlement.
- From date. Select the starting date for the entitlement to take effect from the calendar field. Select the corresponding save icon from the right-hand column to save the duration of time requested for the entitlement. Enter a reason for requesting the entitlements in the text field labeled Reason for request. Select Next.
- If the information in the preview screen is correct, select Submit. Otherwise, select Previous to adjust the fields.
When request is finally approved, an abstract helper class IntegrateCreateUserRequestHelper is getting invoked to process user access requests. This class integrates various services for managing user objects, updating their attributes, provisioning resources, logging actions, and handling manual system tasks. More on the class can be found in Creating an access request from catalog document in the Integrated create user request helper Groovy script section.
