Request Selectors

A Request Selector is a configuration that assigns an approval process to a user attempting to access an action. Prior to their ability to access this action, they must first submit a request that requires approval, after which, their access to this action will be granted for a limited time.

Request Selectors can be configured on specific Space actions or to individual Assets, or multiple via inheritance.
