Centralized Access Request Hub: Your All-Inclusive Destination for Data Demand Fulfillment
In a significant move to streamline access request processes, Okta has introduced the Unified Requester Experience within its Identity Governance product. This innovative feature aims to simplify access requests for both end-users and administrators, making the process more intuitive and secure.
The Unified Requester Experience offers a single, user-friendly interface that allows end-users to initiate access requests from multiple platforms, including the Okta dashboard, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. This unified approach enables administrators to configure access request processes flexibly, using either scalable Request Conditions or customizable Request Flows, without compromising the user's request journey.
For end-users, the Unified Requester Experience simplifies the process of gaining access to necessary tools quickly while maintaining security standards like least privilege. On the other hand, administrators benefit from greater autonomy and flexibility in building and managing access policies, helping to uphold a strong security posture and reduce standing privileges. This results in faster, clearer access requests with seamless self-service features, improving efficiency and user satisfaction on both sides.
Currently, the Unified Requester Experience is in Early Availability for all Okta Identity Governance customers. The request submission experience is being unified across Slack/Teams and the web, and the build experience for administrators is being streamlined. Additionally, Request Types are being rebranded to custom Request Flows in the product.
