# Approve temporary access to an entry in Devolutions Cloud

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/5XwhadoYKKc>" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The ***Temporary Access*** feature is also available in Remote Desktop Manager with Devolutions Cloud. You can view and approve temporary access requests in Remote Desktop Manager even if the request was made in Devolutions Cloud. Visit [Approve temporary access to an entry in Remote Desktop Manager](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/user-interface/content-area/temporary-access/approve-temporary-access/) to learn more.
{% endhint %}

The ***Temporary Access*** feature allows users to request a temporary elevation of their permissions for a specific entry. The approver must then approve or deny the request.

### View temporary access requests

When a user sends you a temporary access request, you will be automatically notified by email. You can click on ***Go to entry dashboard*** to view the request directly in the entry in Devolutions Cloud.

Once you are on the entry, you will see a ***Temporary Access Request*** section near the top. Clicking on ***View Details*** opens the ***Temporary Access Request*** window, which is described in the next section.

Note that you can also see all temporary access pending requests from a selected vault in the ***Temporary Access*** box of the ***Dashboard***. Clicking on a request brings you to the entry.

### Approve/Deny temporary access requests

{% hint style="info" %}
The duration of ***Temporary Access*** begins when the request is approved.
{% endhint %}

When the entry is selected, clicking on ***View Details*** in the ***Temporary Access Request*** section allows you to see information about the request as well as ***Approve***/***Deny*** it.

In the top section, you can view the details of the request such as ***Entry's dependencies***, ***User***, ***Permissions*** level and ***Duration***.

Below is the approver's reply. The ***Permissions*** and ***Duration*** can be changed and a message left for the user.

Finally, you can ***Approve*** or ***Deny*** the temporary access request by clicking on the corresponding button.

### Revoke temporary access

After the approbation, for any reason, you may revoke the user's temporary access by clicking on ***View Details*** again, then ***Revoke***. Be sure you want to do this first, since to regain access to the entry, they will need to make another request. Otherwise, their access will end within the set time frame.
