Request access to documents in SharePoint

SHARED IN CONFIG AND END USER DOCS

This use case demonstrates the process a user would follow to request access to a document library in SharePoint.

Before a user can be granted access to a document library in SharePoint, the following is required:

  • A document library has been created in Windows SharePoint.

  • At least one document exists in the document library.

  • Users have at least read privileges to the SharePoint site. In this use case, the ”domain users” Active Directory group has been added to the SharePoint Visitors group.

  • The Visitors, Members, and Owners SharePoint groups all have owners.

  • A SharePoint target has been added to Bravura Security Fabric , and is configured to manage SharePoint network resources.

  • The document library is added to Bravura Security Fabric as a network resource.

To request access to the document library:

  1. From the main menu, click Request access to network resources in the My profile section.

    The Request access to network resources page appears.

  5. Select a group that gives you the privileges you want.

  6. If required, type Requester notes .

    Requester notes are required if the IDR REQUIRES REASON NEWREQUEST option is enabled.

  7. Click Complete.

    Bravura Security Fabric enters the request into the authorization workflow.

The Workflow Manager Service routes the request to the selected group owner for authorization. After authorization is complete the Transaction Monitor Service runs a connector program that adds the user to the selected group on the target system and the user will have access to the Sales folder.
