Access requests, provisioning, licences, laptops, and one policy asked forty different ways. An agent handles the routine ones in your ITSM and puts an approval gate on anything that grants permission.
Nobody escalates to the CEO because their VPN request took three days, which is exactly why it takes three days. The internal queue absorbs whatever capacity IT has left after the incidents, and it's also the queue with the highest proportion of requests that are identical to last week's — and the highest risk, because half of them end in someone being granted access to something.
A ticket in Jira Service Management or ServiceNow, a message in the IT channel on Slack or Teams, an email to your helpdesk address. It follows a busy channel without joining in until a message is actually for it.
Who is asking, what role are they in, what does the policy say that role gets, and what do they already have. Pulled from your identity provider and your own documents at the step, not remembered from a prompt written last quarter.
A licence the role already includes, a password reset, a group the policy names: handled, logged, done. Anything that widens permissions beyond the role stops and becomes an approval request with the entitlement diff attached.
Not to the IT queue in general. The owner of the system being requested gets the ticket, the requester's context and what the policy says, and answers in one line.
Permission-granting actions are the classic case for an approval gate: the agent prepares the change and a named person approves it in one click, with the request, the diff and the approver on an immutable record.
Entitlements are read from the identity systems you already run, so an access request is answered against current state rather than against what the wiki said in March.
Which tool it called, what it changed, who approved it and what it cost. Set a monthly ceiling per agent and a runaway loop is a line item rather than an incident.
When it isn't sure
So it doesn't. Requests that fall outside a documented entitlement don't get a best-effort answer — they get routed to the person who owns that system, with the requester, the role, the current entitlements and what's being asked for. The employee gets a real answer instead of a ticket that sits, and nobody's permissions widened because the request was worded confidently.
Approval gates on any action that grants, widens or extends access
Routed by ownership — the person who owns the system, not the person on rota
A fallback ladder and timeouts, so an access request doesn't wait on one admin's calendar
Every question it had to escalate is a policy you haven't written down yet
Connect a system once for the whole organization and every agent can use it from then on — with credentials held at the org and referenced by name, never pasted into a prompt.

Mostly about permissions, and rightly so.
Can it create accounts and grant roles by itself?
Only the ones your policy already pre-approves for that role, and only if you enable it. Anything that widens permissions past the role is gated to a named approver by default, and most teams leave it that way permanently.
How does it handle offboarding?
As a checklist it can execute against your identity systems, with the irreversible steps gated. The value is that the list is worked the same way every time and the record of what was revoked, and when, is attached to the run.
Do employees have to use a new tool?
No. It works in the channel and the ticketing system they already use. In a shared channel it stays quiet until a message is actually for it.
What about the questions that are really HR or facilities?
They route the same way as anything else — to the person who owns that answer, in the directory. Routing by expertise doesn't stop at the edge of the IT team.
Order & Fulfillment Ops
Order exceptions, addresses that won't parse, inventory that doesn't line up, returns and replacements.
Compliance & Vendor Review
Vendor files, document completeness, KYC checks — with a human signature where the rule says a human signs.
Front Office
Support, success, onboarding — the work with a customer waiting on it.
