Extension Requests

The problem
Without extension requests...
Abrupt access loss mid-task
Access expires while team members are in the middle of critical work. They lose their session, unsaved changes, and momentum without any recourse.
Re-provisioning delays
When access expires unexpectedly, getting it back means starting a brand new provisioning request. That can take hours or days, leaving work stalled.
No extension workflow exists
There is no built-in way to request more time. Team members resort to Slack messages, email chains, and manual workarounds that bypass governance.
Key Benefits
What makes it powerful
Extension Request Form
Extend access by:
In-context extension requests
Team members can request an extension directly from their access notification — before expiry hits. The request includes the reason and desired new end date.
Approval Flow
Manager approval flow
Extension requests route to the designated manager for review. Managers see full context — who, what platform, how long, and why — to make informed decisions.
Access Status

Extended to Mar 22
Seamless continuation
When an extension is approved, access continues uninterrupted. No re-provisioning, no new credentials, no session disruption. The team member keeps working seamlessly.

Reason: Final campaign optimizations
User requests extension
The team member selects how long they need and provides a reason. The request is automatically routed to the appropriate manager for review.
Access extended or denied
The manager reviews and approves or denies. If approved, access is seamlessly extended. If denied, the team member is notified and access expires as scheduled.
