Which term describes the formal submissions for requesting user access?

• A. Approval Process
• B. Role Mining Technology
• C. Access Requests
• D. Technology Configuration

Answer: (C)

Access requests are the formal submissions users make to obtain permissions to resources. This term captures the act of asking for access, which then proceeds through an approval workflow. In identity and access management, access requests typically include who is requesting, what resource or role is needed, the level of access, the justification, and any required timeframes or constraints. They enable proper tracking, auditing, and enforcement of access policies. The approval process describes the workflow that reviews and either grants or denies these requests, often involving managers or resource owners. Role mining technology is about analyzing existing permissions to infer roles, and technology configuration concerns how systems are set up, not the act of requesting access.
