Access Request for Project Areas

There currently is no way for users to request access to project areas. In Microsoft SharePoint a user can navigate to a page or Teams site and if does not have access there is an option to request access. This is extremely needed as there is no way currently to request access except to contact someone if the user knows someone on the team. We currently have a page that gets data from a database table we developed to show users that manage all the project areas arranged by application. But, this has issues and is a severe usability issue for us. Access is one of our key complaints about the ELM system.

This also goes along with the Idea I submitted to have a Administrative control panel that could manage users across the system. But this is different in that here the user can request access. We have many teams and many users that need access and it is an unneeded administrative burden at this point.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.
