Requesting Access with Web Portal

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

Intro

Apono is a platform for Just-in-Time access management that keeps organizations secure and compliant.

Apono makes it easier for DevOps, DevSecOps, IT and IAM Ops to manage access, reduces risk of human error and attack and eliminates the need for clunky IT service management systems in your everyday work.

If your organization is using Apono, access to cloud resources in development, CI/CD, data repositories, cloud infrastructure and more is managed centrally.

Use our web portal for an easy to use interface for access requests, approvals and access details.
