Getting started
The Web Portal is part of a web application that is displayed in a web browser. You can use the Web Portal to request and cancel products, and to renew current requests with limited lifetimes. If you own the necessary entitlements, you are able to approve requests and cancellations, perform attestation, view rule violations, and approve or deny exception approvals.
