Automate App Access Requests Solution

Automate App Access Requests Across Slack and CloudEagle

Give employees the tools they need in minutes, not days, while reducing access request tickets for IT and enforcing identity-based security controls.

Simplify Access Requests and Approvals Directly in Slack

Imagine: Employees need quick access to tools to do their jobs, but the approval process is slow and manual, creating bottlenecks that waste time and hinder productivity.

Without CloudEagle

Access requests are submitted via emails or tickets, disconnected from identity context.
Managers and IT manually coordinate approvals and provisioning, increasing the chance of errors.
There’s no clear audit trail tying identity → approval → access granted.
Employees can see and request apps outside their role or department, increasing over-provisioning risk.
Non-integrated apps require manual handling, leading to inconsistent enforcement of access policies.
Result: Delays in getting the right access, inefficient processes, and potential security risks from unauthorized app access.

With CloudEagle

Access requests are initiated inside Slack, tied directly to the user’s identity.
Employees get productive faster with instant access, IT ticket volume drops dramatically, and security teams maintain consistent, auditable governance.
Access is provisioned with defined entitlements and durations, not open-ended permissions.
Employees only see apps and access options appropriate to their role, department, and identity context.
Both integrated and non-integrated apps follow a consistent identity governance process, with manual steps tracked when automation isn’t possible.
Result: Access requests are handled quickly, efficiently, and securely, saving time for everyone involved and ensuring the right access is always in place.
Customer Spotlight:
“Access requests were scattered across emails and chats, slowing teams down and creating security blind spots. With CloudEagle, we now have a single catalog of approved apps where employees can request access instantly, reducing IT tickets, eliminating shadow IT, and giving IT full visibility from day one.”
— Fred Anthony // VP of Technology

onboarding, prompt offboarding
Approval decisions are governed by identity, role, and risk so access is granted consistently, not case by case.
  • Define who can approve access based on app sensitivity, role, and department
  • Enforce policy-driven approval paths instead of ad-hoc manager decisions
  • Ensure every approval follows least-privilege and compliance requirements

Once approved, access is provisioned instantly for integrated apps or cleanly routed for manual assignment.
  • Direct access provisioning when the app integrates with CloudEagle.ai
  • For non-integrated apps, admins receive automated tasks to assign licenses
  • Requestors receive automatic notifications once access is granted or rejected
