In certain situations, developers need to expand their access to a certain new project or a sensitive environment. For those use cases, it is helpful to utilize Infisical’s Access Requests functionality. This functionality works in the following way:
  1. A project administrator sets up a policy that assigns access managers (also known as eligible approvers) to a certain sensitive folder or environment. Create Access Request Policy Modal Access Request Policies
  2. When a developer requests access to one of such sensitive resources, the request is visible in the dashboard, and the corresponding eligible approvers get an email notification about it. Access Request Create Access Request Dashboard
  3. An eligible approver can approve or reject the access request. Access Request Review
  4. As soon as the request is approved, developer is able to access the sought resources. Access Request Dashboard
