Shine a light on shadow apps

ConductorOne Docs

Browse your app catalog

Browse the apps and resources available to you, request new access, and see your current access on the Browse access page.

Browse access overview

Your company uses ConductorOne to manage software access requests.

On the Browse access page, you can view a personalized app catalog containing all the apps and resources available for you to request, see what access has been granted to you, and request new access.

The Browse access page showing 13 available apps.

Why don’t I see all the apps my company uses? For both simplicity and security, the list of apps you can request is limited. If you’re in the Accounting department, you probably don’t need access to the tools the Product Design team uses, or vice versa.

The ConductorOne admins at your company set up groups of apps (these are called catalogs). Some catalogs are visible to everyone, but others are just for certain departments or job types. The catalogs you have access to determine which apps you can see and ask for.

Current access

A green checkmark on an app’s tile indicates that you have access to that app.

When you click on an app, a green checkmark on a resource indicates that you have access to that resource.

A detail from the Browse access page showing Google Worksapce with a green checkmark labeled app access and a green checkmark next to the Member entitlement on the Test role.

In the screenshot above, the user has access to the Google Workspace app, and is a member of the Test role.

Request access

You can request access to the apps and resources shown on the Browse access page by clicking the Request button.

A detail from the Browse access page showing Request buttons next to Jira Cloud in the header of the page (click here to request access to the app itself) and next to the Member entitlement on the Administrators group (click here to request this specific entitlement).

In the screenshot above, the user does not have access to Jira Cloud or any Jira Cloud resources, so the Request button is shown next to the app’s name and also next to each resource the user can request.

Click Request and fill out the request form to create an access request task, which will follow the access request approval process specified for that app or resource.

If the Emergency access toggle is present on the request form: The access you’re requesting is available for emergency access requests. If you’re requesting this access to address an emergency (as defined by your company’s critical incident or emergency procedures), enable the Emergency access toggle.

After you submit your request, the Request button changes to a View request link. Click the link to see the request task’s progress.

Pending requests

While a request for a specific resource is pending, an hourglass is shown next to the requested resource. Click on the resource to access the View request link, which takes you to the request task.

A detail from the Browse access page showing an hourglass icon next to the GitHub DataEng team resource and a View request link next to the Member entitlement for this resource.

ConductorOne will send you an email when your request is approved or rejected, and another when the new access is granted.
