Your access
Oblique manages your access. Use it to see what you can access today, understand why you have access, and see how it’s changed over time. If you need access you don’t have, you can request it.
How access works
Section titled “How access works”You’re granted access in Oblique when you’re assigned a specific role on a resource. For example, an admin role on a Slack workspace resource or a user role on a GitHub repository resource.
You can be granted access directly (when the role is assigned to you individually) or indirectly (when the role is assigned to a group or team you belong to). If your access is indirect, it’ll automatically update if you join or leave the group or team.
Access can also expire. If your access has an expiry date, Oblique will automatically revoke it on that date.
See your access
Section titled “See your access”Your profile page shows everything you have access to.
The Access table lists every resource you have access to, grouped by integration. For each resource, you can see why access was granted (including indirectly through a group or a team), your role on that resource, and when it expires, if applicable.
See why you have access
Section titled “See why you have access”You can see why you have access to a resource in two ways:
- The Access table shows whether access is direct or indirect through a group or team
- Select View graph to open the access graph, which visualizes the path showing how you have access to a resource, through any groups or teams
You can view the same access information for any user, group, or team from their detail page. This information is available in the other direction as well: on a resource’s detail page, the Entitlements table shows why each user has access.
See how your access has changed over time
Section titled “See how your access has changed over time”The Access changes section on your profile shows a timeline of every change that affected your access. The timeline includes:
- Direct changes, like a role being assigned or removed
- Indirect changes, like joining a team with access, or an attribute change removing you from a group with access
- Automatic expiry
Each item shows what changed and where the change came from: an applied change request that changed your access, an integration sync that updated your attributes, or an automatic expiry.
When several similar changes happen close together—for example, many users added to the same group from one request—Oblique groups them into a single item. Select the item to expand it and see each individual change.
The timeline only includes changes that granted, revoked, or expired access. Edits that don’t change access at that time, such as extending an entitlement’s expiry, aren’t included. Those edits, and every other action in Oblique, are still recorded in audit logs for Oblique admins.
Request access
Section titled “Request access”You can request access you don’t have yet, for yourself, for a group or team you belong to, or for someone else.
