ACCESS AND PERMISSION REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make sure each person can do only the work they are allowed to do.

Compare a person’s request with the responsibilities and permissions assigned to their role. Explain which routine actions appear to be in scope, record what needs attention, and send unclear or sensitive cases to an authorized owner. Require human approval before changing access or allowing a consequential action.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A request from a known team member whose role and permissions can be checked

“Review a work request against assigned permissions, explain limits clearly, and reserve access changes and sensitive decisions for an authorized person.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams apply consistent access boundaries when people request actions related to their responsibilities.

  1. Confirm who is making the request

    Check the requester’s identity using an approved account and resolve any mismatch before considering the request.

  2. Review the person’s assigned role

    Use the current role and permission record to understand which work activities are in scope.

  3. Compare the request with allowed responsibilities

    Identify whether the requested action appears permitted, out of scope, or unclear under the team’s rules.

  4. Explain a limit or route an exception

    Give a clear reason when a request is outside its assigned scope and send ambiguous or sensitive cases to an access owner.

  5. Approve changes and consequential actions

    Require an authorized person to verify the need and approve any permission change or high-impact action before it proceeds.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A permission check with the relevant role, allowed scope, and any approval needed made clear to the requester.

The handoff

A permission check with the relevant role, allowed scope, and any approval needed made clear to the requester.

Keep in mind

Identity, role, or permission records may be incomplete, and an incorrect grant can expose information or enable an unintended action. Deny or pause uncertain requests, keep a record of the basis for review, and require an authorized owner to approve access changes and consequential actions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define roles and responsibilities

Document the work each role may perform and identify which activities require separate approval.

Keep permission records current

Assign an owner to review role changes, departures, exceptions, and outdated access.

Set a safe response for uncertain requests

Pause requests when identity or permission information is missing, conflicting, or no longer current.

Assign access decision owners

Name who may grant or remove permissions and who approves consequential requests or exceptions.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
