Structured Approvals, Not Email Threads

Time-bound access with configurable duration and automatic revocation
Multi-channel notifications: email, Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram, webhooks
Covers all resource types: web apps, endpoints, groups, resource sessions, VPN
Full audit trail for every decision with approver identity and notes

Three Steps to Secure Access

1. Sign Up With SSO

Connect your identity provider — Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, or any SAML/OIDC provider. Your team logs in with existing credentials.

2. Add Your Resources

Register servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, and web apps. Define who can access what with role-based policies.

3. Access Securely

Your team accesses resources through the browser — identity-verified, session-recorded, and audit-logged. No VPN, no exposed ports.
