Approve requests

For desk managers: approve or refuse a request before the desk refers it.

Updated 31 October 2026

A service can need a desk manager's approval, such as a request for new access. Its tickets show awaiting approval, and the desk's leads are told.

  1. Open the ticket from Waiting for your approval on Home.
  2. Choose Approve or Refuse.
  3. Add a note: optional when approving, required when refusing. Either way it is private to the desk.

You cannot approve a request you raised yourself.
