## Submit a request

Select the application you need access to. You can request:

* **A new account** - if you don't have an account in the application yet
* **Additional entitlements** - if you already have an account and need more permissions

Choose the entitlements you need and provide a justification explaining why you need this access.

## Track your request

After submitting, you can follow the status of your request under **My Requests** on the Applications page.

Your request will go through one or more approval steps (for example, your manager or the application owner). You'll receive an email notification when your request is approved or denied.
