Requesting Access with the Web Portal

Use the Apono web portal to request access and manage access requests

The Apono Web Portal enables you to request, view, and receive permissions to services, databases, and applications that are centrally managed through Apono.

The Web Portal offers several benefits:

  • Streamline access requests to resources without navigating complex IT systems
