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.

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.
