Access requests without ticket ping-pong

Make the catalog discoverable

Employees should know where to ask for a tool. A catalog turns "who owns this?" into a visible product question. The entry can show owner, category, subscription choices, expectations, and whether the employee already has access.

Ask for enough context

A request without a reason becomes a chat thread. Ask for the business purpose, timing, access level, and any needed context. Keep the form short, but make the decision possible.

Route by ownership

The approver should be clear before the request is submitted. Ownership can be tied to the app, group, manager, or a configured responsible person. Access Management keeps that routing visible.

Set an expectation

Use target or expected response language unless the company has a contractual SLA. A visible target still helps people understand what should happen next without inventing a guarantee.

Keep the decision with the record

Approve, deny, and follow-up should update the access request and person record. If a Slack action is used, it should call back into Perelan so Slack is another surface, not the source of truth.

Be honest about provisioning

Many products imply that every request provisions an external account automatically. Unless a connector actually does that, say the product records the request, routes the decision, and prepares the handoff.
