Which term corresponds to the description 'Checks requests against business rules automatically'?

• A. Access Request Validation
• B. Request Authorization
• C. Access Request Form
• D. Access Controls

Answer: (A)

Automated validation of access requests against business rules is exactly about checking a request against defined policies in real time. When someone asks for access to a resource, the system automatically compares the requested entitlements with the organization’s rules—such as role requirements, attribute constraints, separation of duties, and required approvals. This step happens before any granting decision and can route the request for approval or auto-approve if it complies. The term that best captures this is Access Request Validation, since it explicitly embodies the act of validating the request against the rules.

The other concepts describe different pieces of the process. A form is simply the interface used to submit the request; authorization is the decision to grant or deny after validation; and access controls are the enforcement mechanisms that actually restrict or allow access once a decision has been made.
