# Access Requests & Approvals

*This feature is in Beta.*

Access Requests allow users to request access to resources, roles, or organizations through a managed workflow instead of having an admin manually assign everything.

## How It Works

1. A user submits an access request specifying what they need
2. The request is routed to the appropriate approver
3. The approver reviews and approves or denies the request
4. If approved, access is automatically granted

## Managing Requests

Navigate to **Access Control > Access Requests** to see all pending, approved, and denied requests.

## Approval Workflows

Configure who can approve requests under **Access Control > Approval Workflows**. You can set up:

* Single-level approval (one approver)
* Multi-level approval (requires multiple approvers)
* Auto-approval for specific request types
