description: Use Just-in-time Access Requests to request elevated privileges.

Teleport Just-in-Time Access Requests allow any user to request access to
a resource or role depending on need. The request can then be approved or
denied based on a configurable number of approvers.
Just-in-time Access Requests are a powerful way to implement the principle of
least privilege in your organization, leaving an attacker with no permanent
admins to target. Users receive elevated privileges for a limited period of
time. Request approvers can be configured with limited cluster access so they
are not high value targets.
Just-in-time Access Requests are a feature of Teleport Enterprise.
Open-source Teleport users can get a preview of how Access Requests work by
requesting a role via the Teleport CLI. Full Access Request functionality,
including Resource Access Requests and an intuitive and searchable UI are
available in Teleport Enterprise.
For information on how to use Just-in-time Access Requests with OSS Teleport,
see the [OSS Guide](./access-requests/oss-role-requests.mdx).
## Resource Access Requests
With Resource Access Requests, engineers can easily get access to only the
individual resources they need, when they need it.
[Get started with Resource Access Requests](./access-requests/resource-requests.mdx).
## Role Access Requests
Role Access Requests balance security and flexibility. Engineers can request
temporary credentials with elevated roles in order to perform critical
system-wide tasks.
