What is access?
access is an all-in-one command-line tool from Indent for requesting and managing temporary access for cloud apps and systems.
This provides users with temporary access that's fast and easy to get because it's on-demand and automated, so users only have permissions when they need them without having to wait hours or days to get access.

The access command-line tool works with multiple applications, identity providers, and cloud infrastucture providers. Instead of referencing a bunch of different docs or who's the admin for some service, you can just type access. Indent will automatically route requests submitted by access to the right reviewer, they can approve directly from Slack or the command-line, then you'll get a notification that your access has been granted.
