  • What have you tried?

Within our company we make use of an Self-Service Portal for our colleagues at which we explain several application as offered by IT. From there, for access we forward them to the request center.

We would like to make sure that within an certain application, the application they need to access directly is included in their request package, eg that if they click on the Request button they don’t enter on the home-page on the request center, but directly to a point like this:

  • What errors did you face (share screenshots)?

This is not error related, we want to directly forward the users towards a specific package within the request center.

  • Share the details of your efforts (code / search query, workflow json etc.)?

We found out that this one seems possible for on-prem Deeplinks/direct link to access management page: Manage user access - Compass

  • What is the result you are getting and what were you expecting?

We want to directly forward the users towards a specific package (eg applicatoin/entitlement/role) as requestable within the request center

Hi @sni_rz ,
At present, ISC doesn’t support deep linking directly to a specific requestable item (such as an application, role, or entitlement) within the Request Center. Users are generally directed to the Request Center landing page, where they can search for and request the desired access.

The deep links available for IdentityIQ/Access Request Manager don’t apply to ISC’s Request Center.

As a workaround, you could:

  • Link users directly to the Request Center and use clear naming/categories so the requested item is easy to find.
  • If you’re using a custom self-service portal, consider leveraging the ISC Access Request APIs to build a tailored request experience that initiates requests for specific items.

This is a common enhancement request, but there is currently no native capability to deep link to a specific request package in the ISC Request Center. If this functionality is important for your organization, you may want to submit it as an enhancement request through the SailPoint Ideas portal.

Thank you.

I haven’t looked into this new feature but it might get you where you need

Thanks all for your reply!

@mcheek form is not really what we are looking for, since we want to keep our existing Self-Service Portal solution as the front-end for our users

@suraj_gorle Ok, that’s a pity, although it is what I was already afraid of. I noticed that the idea “Allowing deep links for items in request” has been on the SailPoint Ideas Portal for several years already: Allowing deep links for items in request | SailPoint Ideas Portal.

I’ve gone ahead and given it an upvote as well, so hopefully it will gain some additional visibility and traction.
