The request lands in your queue. Access to a critical system hangs on your decision. You click, review the details, and approve—without leaving Microsoft Teams.
Identity workflow approvals in Teams cut wasted time from access control. Instead of switching to multiple admin consoles, you handle identity authorization requests where you already work. This keeps context tight, decision speed high, and audit trails complete.
At its core, identity workflow approvals integrate your identity provider with Teams. When a user requests access—say to a database, a SaaS tool, or sensitive environment—the system sends an actionable card into a Teams channel or direct message. That card includes request details, rich metadata, and buttons for approve or deny. Once you act, the identity platform updates permissions instantly, logging the event for compliance.
Done right, this reduces friction in change management. Admins and managers see the request in real time. The record persists in identity logs and Teams chat history, meeting security and compliance requirements. No hidden back-and-forth, no delayed escalations.
