A user wanting to request temporary access to an entry may find this visual aid useful, but watching the video is not essential since all the steps are described in this topic. To learn how to approve or deny a request, visit [Approve temporary access to an entry in Devolutions Cloud](https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/temporary-access/approve-temporary-access/). {% 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. ### Request temporary access {% hint style="info" %} The duration of ***Temporary Access*** begins when the request is approved. {% endhint %} Follow the steps below to learn how to make a temporary access request: 1. In the ***Vault*** tab, select the entry you want access to in the vault of your choice. 2. Click on ***More***, then select ***Request Temporary Access***. 3. In the ***Temporary Access Request*** window, select the ***Access duration*** in the drop-down menu. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/HUBB2383_2025_1.png) 4. Click ***Set custom time frame*** if you need an access for a specific period of time. 5. Select the ***Permissions*** level you want to temporarily obtain between ***Readers***, ***Operators***, and ***Contributors*** using the drop-down menu. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/HUBB2384_2025_1.png) Hovering your mouse over the eye icon while you have a ***Permissions*** level selected lets you see what permissions it includes. For example, the following image shows the permissions for the ***Operators*** role. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/HUBB2385_2025_1.png) To help you decide which role to select, you can visit [Roles and permissions](https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/administration/configuration-security/system-permissions/roles-permissions/). 6. Select the approver you want to send your request to using the drop-down menu. You can also use the filter bar to refine your research. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/HUBB2386_2025_1.png) 7. Write a short message to the approver explaining why you want access to this entry. This is optional, but we strongly recommend it as it allows the approver to make a more informed decision. When you are done, click on ***Send Request***. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/HUBB2387_2025_1.png) You now have to wait for the approver to respond to your request. You will be notified by email whether the answer is positive or negative. The next section details what to do once you have received a response. ### Request temporary access to a credentials entry Users can request access to a credentials entry to view and copy passwords. The process is the same as described above. Once the approver has given you access, you can view the password. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/docs_en_hub_Hub6084.png) ### Response to your request If your request is approved, your email will have a button at the bottom that will bring you directly to your entry in Devolutions Cloud. It is also possible to manually go to your entry. Once you are on the entry in the vault, you will see a ***Temporary Access Request*** section near the top. A check mark validates that your request was approved. Next to the check mark is the ***Time remaining*** on your request. There is also a ***View Details*** option which is described in the next section. You can now perform your task with this elevated permission. ### View details and revoke your temporary access ***View Details*** allows you to see information about your ***Temporary Access Request*** as well as revoke your access. In the top section, you can view the details of your request such as ***User***, ***Permissions*** level and ***Duration***. You can also read the message you sent to the approver. Further down is the approver's reply. The approver can modify your request if necessary. Finally, for any reason, you may revoke your temporary access by clicking on ***Revoke***. Be sure you want to do this first, since to regain access to your entry, you will need to make another request. Otherwise, your access will end within the time frame set by you and the approver. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/docs_en_hub_Hub6007.png) #### See also * [Devolutions Academy – Managing temporary access request](https://academy.devolutions.net/student/page/2813671-managing-temporary-access-request?curriculum_activity_id=4268348\&path_id=2543918\&sid=24ef5de4-7766-4c01-94ad-fd68102e0f25\&sid_i=0) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
