About:
Access streamlines the process of requesting and granting access to cloud infrastructure, code repositories, and other sensitive resources directly from the command line. It integrates with identity providers and approval workflows to ensure secure and auditable access. This tool eliminates the need for manual ticketing systems or sharing static credentials.
Key Features:
  • Just-in-time (JIT) access provisioning
  • Integrates with Slack for approval workflows
  • Supports multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • CLI-first approach for developer efficiency
Use Cases:
  • Granting temporary AWS console access to a developer
  • Requesting access to a production Kubernetes cluster
  • Automating access to a specific GitHub repository
Alternatives:
  • Teleport – Teleport focuses on SSH/Kubernetes access, while Access offers broader workflow integrations for various cloud resources.
  • Okta Workflows – Okta is an enterprise identity platform; Access provides a lightweight, CLI-centric experience for developers.
