If your admin has integrated Apono with Slack, you can use Slack to request, view, and receive permission to services, databases, and applications that are centrally managed through Apono.
Requesting access with Slack offers several benefits:
Streamline access requests to resources without navigating complex IT systems
Centralize access visibility to view pending approvals and current permissions
Improve security and compliance with centrally managed access
