Application Access Request

An application access request form is used to get a user ID and role in a business application such as ERP, CRM, HRMS or accounting software. It records the modules, role, branch or company code and transaction limits needed, checks for conflicting roles, and is approved by the manager and the application owner.

Frequently asked questions

What is segregation of duties in application access?+

It means one person should not hold roles that let them complete a sensitive transaction end to end, such as creating a vendor and approving its payment.

Who is the application owner?+

The business head responsible for the application, such as the finance controller for ERP finance or the HR head for HRMS. They decide who gets which role.

Can access be copied from another user?+

It is better to avoid 'copy user' requests, because the other user may have excess access. Request specific roles instead.
