Favorites (web client)
On your
Home or
My Requests page, you will see My Favorites (number of favorites). You can quickly make requests by creating a favorite of requests you make often, then just click the favorite.
You must be authorized to create requests for the assets and accounts you choose to include in a favorite. To change the look of the favorite tiles, click
for large icons or
for small icons.
If Show Account Availability is enabled you can identify if a privileged account is available or not. Accounts display a
warning badge if in use by a request and an account's status is updated immediately after being changed in order to avoid overlapping account requests from multiple users. Hover over the badge to display <X> of <X> accounts in use. Select an available account. Showing account availability requires additional API queries that may impact performance. This toggle is set by the user not an administrator. There is no global toggle.
NOTE: When the policy governing the request has enabled Allow simultaneous access for multiple user access, the request may still be available even though Show Account Request Availability indicates it is in use.
