  7. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the request details form.

  8. The Privileged access app displays a summary of the request.

    Bravura Security Fabric issues the request and notifies appropriate authorizers.

Check out the group set

Once the request has been approved, you can check out the group set, as long as the number of allowable concurrent check-outs has not been exceeded.

To check out a group set:

  1. Click Ready to check out under the REQUESTS heading.

  2. Select the group set if necessary from the Results panel.

  3. Click Check out.

    Bravura Security Fabric records that you have checked out the group set.

Use the group set

In this example, once you have checked out the group set you will have read only access to the accounting folder on the network. This will be enough for the user to help the accounting department for the few hours required.

The users access will be revoked in 4 hours.
