Streamline user requests by customizing your request management settings. 

Relevant for: Enterprise Plan
Who can do it: Company Admin

What is request management?

Users can request access to organizations or teams, may require support for single sign-on (SSO), or seek license upgrades. By default, these requests are sent to admins via email. With request management, Company Admins can personalize how these requests are received and managed. 

Company Admins have several request management settings to choose from. They can also customize the request management process based on different request types. For example, Company Admins can configure their Request management settings to automatically generate service desk tickets for all license requests.

You can find your Request management settings in your Company settings > User management > Request management. 

Request management settings

Choose how to be notified about requests: 

• Email all company admins
• Email specific company admins
• Create a service desk ticket
• Redirect to a custom URL

Type of request

Request types fall into four categories, which you'll see in your Request management settings:

• Requests to join your organization
• Requests for a license
• Requests to join a team
• Requests related to SSO issues

The below scenarios outline how these requests are triggered. Review the scenarios to decide how you would like to manage each request type.

Automatically create a service desk ticket every time a user makes an access request. This feature is currently supported for ServiceNow and Jira Service Management.

Frequently asked questions

Can users make a request directly through the SSO request access flow?

After clicking Request access, the user will also need to confirm their email by entering the confirmation code sent to their email address. This prevents unauthorized users from reaching out to Company Admins.

Why am I still getting emails even though I’ve configured my settings to create tickets?

If Team Admins are allowed to invite new users to a team in invitation settings, they will receive invitation requests related to this team via email, even though request management settings are set differently. Company Admins who are also a Team Admin will also still receive these emails. 

How do Team Admins know if there’s a request to join their team?

If they are allowed to invite users to their teams, Team Admins will get an email about requests regardless of the request management settings.
