Requesting Access with Slack

Use the Apono Slack app to request access

Last updated 1 month ago

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

  • Enhance collaboration by enabling approvers to grant or deny requests directly in Slack
