Requester details
Full name, employee ID, contact info, and business justification so approvers can validate the need without follow-up or delay.
A standard form reduces provisioning errors, provides a clear approval trail, and supports security and compliance requirements such as HIPAA and SOX. Consistency speeds onboarding and reduces audit exposure by documenting who authorized access, when it began, and when it should end.
Maintain a clear separation of duties: requesters, approvers, and provisioners should be distinct roles where practicable to reduce risk.

|---|---|
| User identity field | Required | Exact match to HR directory |

Verify the platform can export immutable signed copies and store them under your retention policy; ensure any vendor BAA or compliance attachments are in place when handling protected data.
Full name, employee ID, contact info, and business justification so approvers can validate the need without follow-up or delay.
List all systems, roles, and resources with clearly defined permission levels and links to role templates or access matrices used by IT.
Designate required signers (manager, IT owner, security) and specify routing order and escalation rules for missing approvals.
Include start and end dates, temporary access flags, and automated expiration to enforce least privilege and reduce orphaned accounts.
Capture electronic signature metadata, IP address, timestamp, and a system-generated certificate of completion for audit purposes.
Document how access will be revoked, responsible party, and expected completion timeframe to meet offboarding requirements.
Submit before provisioning window; expect initial review within 24–48 hours.
Approval typically required within 48–72 hours to avoid escalation.
Standard provisioning completes within 1–5 business days based on complexity.
Access should auto-expire on the stated date without manual action.
Revoke access immediately upon termination or per HR policy.
