> How managers and app owners review and act on access requests in Torch.

## Find your access request tasks

When someone requests access to an application that requires your approval, you'll receive an email notification.

## Review the request

Open the task to see the details:

* **Application** - the application the requester wants access to
* **Entitlements** - the specific permissions being requested
* **Justification** - the requester's explanation for why they need this access

## Ask questions

If you need more context before making a decision, use the comment thread on the task to discuss with the requester.

## Approve or deny

Once you've reviewed the request, click **Approve** or **Deny**.

* **Approve** - moves the request to the next approval step (if applicable) or triggers automatic provisioning by Torch
* **Deny** - closes the request and notifies the requester
