Request access

For engineers 3 min read

Ask for exactly the access you need, with a reason. It goes to the right approver and expires on its own.

Access in ELOS is least-privilege, time-bound and approval-gated. You ask for a specific resource at a specific level, say why, and an approver decides.

Make a request

1. Open Access requests and choose Request access.
2. Choose the System, for example source control or a cloud account.
3. In Resource + level, enter what you need and at what level, for example payments-core : write.
4. In Justification, say why you need it and for how long, for example on-call for this week's payments rotation.
5. Choose Submit request.

Your request goes to an approver. You can't approve your own request: that separation keeps access least-privilege. When it's approved, you get a grant that expires automatically.
