Overview

External users may submit requests for access to external accounts (Sites, Persons, Organizations) via the 'Request Site Access' function in Site Explorer. When requests are submitted, they are set to Pending and appear in the Access Requests list under the Admin menu for review and approval by internal staff. Internal staff with the correct security role to see this page may approve or deny the request.  

The search bar at the top of the page allows the internal user to review past and current requests with the status of approved, pending, or denied. It can be filtered to search for a specific access request by name, email, or site name.

 

Reviewing and Approving or Denying Requests

Access requests are listed on the Access Requests List page. To list all pending access requests, select pending in the search bar if not already defaulted. The list provides hyperlinks to the site to review and to the user’s email.
