# Request vault access in Remote Desktop Manager

You can request access to a public vault in Remote Desktop Manager. Follow the steps below to complete a request.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}

2. In the vault selector drop-down menu, click the ellipsis button to open a vault selection window.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are using a Devolutions Cloud workspace, select from the list an administrator / vault owner to send the request to. For other workspace types, the request is sent to all administrators and vault owners.
{% endhint %}

5. Write a short message to the approver explaining why you want access to this vault. This is optional, but we recommend it as it allows them to make a more informed decision.
6. When you are done, click on ***Send request***.
7. A message will appear indicating that the request has been sent to the approver. Click ***OK*** to make it disappear.

You now have to wait for the approver to respond to your request. If they approve your request, the vault will appear in the vault selector drop-down menu with the other vaults you already have access to.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="macOS" %}
