# Get started with self service requests

> Follow our step-by-step guide to setting up self-service access requests with C1.

In this guide we'll set up self-service access requests for the **Connector Administrator** role in C1. Once setup is complete, users can request this role, either permanently or temporarily through JIT (just-in-time) access.

## Before you begin

To complete this guide, you'll need:

* C1 **Super Administrator** role

**Estimated time:** 5 minutes

## Step 1: Navigate to the C1 app

First, we need to find the C1 application:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Navigate to the **Apps** > **All applications** page.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select the **C1** application on the **Managed apps** tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 2: Publish the role for request

Next, make the **Connector Administrator** role requestable:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Click **Entitlements**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click the **Resource type** filter to show only roles in C1.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Locate the **Connector Administrator** entitlement.

    We're going to configure this entitlement for self-service access requests using C1 access controls.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Requests** column for the entitlement, click to edit the access request settings. The configuration drawer opens.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Access profiles** field, search for and select **Everyone**. No need to set the other controls in the drawer right now.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

We have now published the **Connector Administrator** role to the **Everyone** access profile in C1. Now any C1 user can request it.

## Step 3: Test it out

Let's walk through the experience of a C1 end user requesting the **Connector Administrator** role. We'll pretend that the requesting user (that's you!) temporarily needs the **Connector Administrator** role in order to create a new connector.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Click **+ New request**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Who needs this access?** field, your name is pre-populated. Leave this as-is.

    Managers and users with the Super Administrator role have the option to request access for other users.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Which app?** field, select **C1**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Which resource?** field, select **Connector Administrator**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **How long is access needed for?** field, select **1 hour**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter the reason why you're requesting the access, such as "Getting started guide test".
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Submit request**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Your request is submitted and a summary is shown.

## Success!

Because of the default settings for this tenant, the access request will be automatically approved and provisioned. You have been granted the **Connector Administrator** role for one hour.

This is a simple example of what C1 can do. From here, you can add more applications, enforce access controls on other entitlements and resources, and configure your approval policies.
