Using the web client

The web client is functionally similar to the desktop client end-user view and useful for requesters, reviewers, and approvers. Many administration functions are available as well. The web client uses a responsive user interface design to adapt to the user's device, from desktops to tablets or mobile phones. Only one user session will persist during a browser session. Any tabs opened after initial authentication will use the existing user session.
