# Approval Process

After a user requests access to a workspace, it will need to be approved based on the approval process selected when creating the Access Requests policy.

This can be any of the following:

* Manager approval
* Manager and admin approval
* Admin approval
* Automatically Approve
* Owner approval

Or it can be based on a new approval process that was created for the Access Requests policy.

You can read more about this in the [Create Access Requests policy article](create-access-requests-policy).

## Approving Access Requests for Workspaces

To approve workspace Access Requests that you have received, complete the following steps:

* Open your **Microsoft Teams app** and navigate to the **Syskit Point Teams app (1)**
