Creating Access Requests Based on Model Users

Context

You can use the functions on the Model User Access screen to create access requests for new users by copying the authorizations of an existing user. This allows you to use the access settings of an existing user as a template and saves time in the access creation process.

For example, you add new employees to your team, and you want them to have the same access as other members of your team. Instead of entering the same information over and over, you select a current employee as the model user, and the application copies the access information from them to the access request for the new employees.

Procedure

  1. On the Access Management work center, under the Access Request menu group, choose Model User.

    The Model User Access screen appears.

  2. On the Select User screen, select the Request For field, and choose either Self or Other.
  3. On the User Details tab page, enter the relevant information in the required fields, and then choose Next.
  4. Under the Select Model User area, select the User field, search for and choose the user.
  5. Under the Select User Access area, from the Available list, select the access and authorizations from the model user that you want to copy to the new user.
  6. Under the Request Type area, select the Request Type field, choose a request type, and then choose Next.
  7. Enter the request details as needed, and then choose Submit.

    This is the standard procedure for creating an access request in the application.
