5. Approving access requests

   When an Oracle operator requests access to an environment, Managed Access sends an email notification to designated approvers. You can select the link in the email to review the request in the Oracle Cloud Console. If you configure multiple approval levels, approvers at each level receive notifications, and each level must approve the request.

   Access Request Email

   The access request email includes:

   1. The environment that is requested to be accessed.
   2. The requested access duration.
   3. A URL to review the request in the Oracle Cloud Console.

   You can click the link to review and approve the access request.

   When you open the URL, you are taken to Managed Access.

   1. Open the Actions menu (three dots) for the request.
   2. Select Approve, Decline, or Revoke.

      You can also use the Access Requests page to audit and track all access requests.
