Change Management & Approvals

Turn "can I get access?" into an auditable request: a reason, a time window, named targets, and an approver on the record.

Overview

Access requests with an audit trail built in

Ad-hoc privilege grants are how access sprawl and unexplained changes begin. Tanflow change management routes every privileged access request through an approval workflow - with a stated reason, a requested time window and specific targets - and then records what actually happened during that window.

Structured requests

Requesters state a business reason, a requested window and the exact target connections they need.

Approve, reject or withdraw

Approvers act on each request with full context; requesters can withdraw their own before approval.

Time-boxed windows

Every request carries a start and end, so approved access is bounded, not indefinite.

Named targets and members

Requests specify precisely which connections and which people the access applies to.

Activity tracked to the request

Sessions and actions taken during the window are recorded against the request for after-the-fact review.

Why it matters

Outcomes you can put in front of an auditor

  • Every privileged change tied to a reason and an approver
  • No indefinite grants - access is bounded to the approved window
  • Clear, reviewable record of what happened during a change
  • Faster approvals with full context in one place
  • Direct evidence for change-control and access-governance audits

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from Just-in-Time access?

JIT focuses on on-demand, self-expiring elevation; change management wraps requests in a formal approval workflow with reasons, targets and after-the-fact activity review - the two work together.

Is activity during an approved window recorded?

Yes. Sessions taken against the request's targets are tracked against that request, so approvers can review exactly what was done.
