# Access a resource with Web Portal
After your access request is approved, you can access the resource from the approval flow or from the **My Access** page. Use **Connect** to launch a session automatically when available, or use **Access Details** to retrieve credentials and access instructions for manual login.
{% hint style="info" %}
If your credentials were rotated since your previous session, Apono displays a **Credentials rotated** tag. When this appears, previously saved credentials or client profiles may no longer work.
Use **Connect** again or retrieve the current credentials from **Access Details**.
{% endhint %}
After automatic approval
After your access request is automatically approved, you can launch the resource directly from the **Access Granted** pop-up window.
{% hint style="warning" %}
To use the **Connect** option, the Apono CLI must be [installed](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/install-and-manage-the-apono-cli.md#install-the-apono-cli), [updated](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/install-and-manage-the-apono-cli.md#update-the-apono-cli), and [logged in](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/requesting-access-with-cli.md#log-in-to-apono).
Currently, the **Connect** option is only supported on MacOS / Linux.
{% endhint %}
Follow these steps to access the resource:
1. On the **Access Granted** pop-up window, read the **Message from your admin about this integration**, if present.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you have several resources split between different sessions, click **Use Access**. The **My Access** page opens.
{% endhint %}
2. Click **Connect** to see the connection options for the resource.
{% hint style="info" %}
Available connection options depend on the resource and may include **Open in my Terminal**, **Open in Browser**, or **Open in App**.
If your preferred connection option or the **Connect** button is not available, you can [retrieve your credentials](#my-access-access-details) to manually log in to the resource.
{% endhint %}
3. Click an option. You are logged in to the resource and your session launches.
After manual approval
After your access request is manually approved, open the request from the **My Requests** page.
{% hint style="warning" %}
To use the **Connect** option, the Apono CLI must be [installed](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/install-and-manage-the-apono-cli.md#install-the-apono-cli), [updated](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/install-and-manage-the-apono-cli.md#update-the-apono-cli), and [logged in](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/requesting-access-with-cli.md#log-in-to-apono).
Currently, the **Connect** option is only supported on MacOS / Linux.

My Access - Connect
Connect opens the available connection options for the resource, so you can log in without manually copying credentials.
{% hint style="warning" %}
To use **Connect** from **My Access**, the following requirements must be met:
* Apono CLI [installed](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/install-and-manage-the-apono-cli.md#install-the-apono-cli), [updated](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/install-and-manage-the-apono-cli.md#update-the-apono-cli), and [logged in](/docs/access-requests-and-approvals/cli/requesting-access-with-cli.md#log-in-to-apono)
* Credentials not previously viewed
Currently, the **Connect** option is only supported on MacOS / Linux.
{% endhint %}
Follow these steps to access the resource:
1. On the [**My Access**](https://portal.apono.io/my-access) page, under **My Sessions**, click **Connect** to see the connection options.
{% hint style="info" %}
Available connection options depend on the resource and may include **Open in my Terminal**, **Open in Browser**, or **Open in App**.

My Access - Access Details
Access Details lets you view the credentials and instructions needed to access a resource manually.
Use this method when the **Connect** button is not available for the resource or your preferred connection method.
{% hint style="danger" %}
Be sure to copy and securely store your credentials. **Apono only displays the secret once.**
{% endhint %}
Follow these steps to access the resource:
1. On the [**My Access**](https://portal.apono.io/my-access) page, under **My Sessions**, click **Access Details** for the resource. A pop-up window appears.
2. Follow the instructions to access the resource.
{% hint style="success" icon="lightbulb" %}
If you previously viewed your credentials, you can click **Reset Credentials**. Resetting your credentials enables you to use the [Connect](#my-access-connect) approach.
