Favorites are located on your Home or My Requests page. For systems and accounts that are used often, you can save the access request as a favorite. Favorites are similar to bookmarks in a web browser, allowing you to save any access request, consisting of one or more assets and accounts, as well as the access type, for example, password or RDP, so the next time you can open it with a single click.
To create favorites, on the My Requests page, you can:
-
Create a favorite by using the tree view control on the page (without having to submit an access request).
-
Save the request as a favorite during the process of creating and submitting a new access request.
On your Home page, 5 of your most recently used favorites are listed. This list is automatically maintained based on your usage.

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. 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. 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 that is 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.
