Hi,

Please help me understand what how the scheduled access request should work in detail?

There are a couple of questions that I would like some feedback on:

• What should happen to an access request if it is not approved prior to the scheduled time for access? Should it be closed as not completed?
• How far into the future should it be possible to request access? In my mind, it does not make much sense to be able to request scheduled access for more than a couple of days or at most a week.

I maybe think that this is not really worth implementing. Admins could create profiles with duration of 1 day. Also, Access Profiles with no approval shared to group of trusted makers could resolve this.

Hi, For this I had in mind busy admin or Developer users with limited calendar spots to perform tasks with the approved elevated JIT access. The solution could accommodate existing change approval processes by allowing requestors to specify a window when the work will take place. Maintenance Communications to users may need to be precise with regards to availability for environments hosting critical apps / flows.

Your bullet points,
If not approved before the Access start time the request is closed incomplete as you suggest. Being able to book a slot to perform works up to a week in advance should be sufficient for most admins/ devs to get all the approvals sign offs and comms sorted.

Can understand your feeling on not worth implementing, why should it need to accommodate existing business processes when yours is much faster and more efficient! I agree, and this could just be a "my world" problem (swamped in Process!). Where large enterprises have invested heavily in IT Service Management Systems and Processes It can be a bit of an uphill push to bring in new ways of doing things especially in early power platform adoption.

I did think of another use case involving a rota for a team, where JIT access is granted for their shift period. But I've not gone much further into that thought.

Best Regards Matt
