Quick Start
This guide will take you through creating your account, installing P0 in your organization, and making your first just-in-time access request.
Setting up P0 for your first just-in-time access grant generally takes about 15 minutes.
In order to set up P0, you'll need some admin privileges, or have someone available who has them:
- The ability to install a Slack App
- Privileges to create roles (or policies in AWS), and grant privileges, on at least one IAM resource (one of AWS, Google Cloud, or Snowflake)
To get started, first create a P0 account at p0.app/create-account. Creating an account, and using P0, is free. All you need is an email address.
Once you've created an account, add one or more access-request approvers under "Settings":
If you want approvers to be able to approve their own requests, enable "one-party approvals" as well.
Follow the Slack set-up instructions to install P0 on your Slack:
Now set up P0 on an IAM resource. Follow one of the three guides below:
Now that you've set up P0, make your first access request. If you enabled one-party approvals in "Configure an access approver" above, you can try this out entirely on your own. Otherwise, grab a colleague to help you:
- 1.Ask your colleague to run
/p0 requestin Slack. Have them fill out request details. For example:
- 2.You should receive a notification in the Slack channel on which you installed P0. Go to this channel, choose an expiration, and click "Approve".
- 3.After a few moments, your colleague should receive a notification that their access was granted.
Most IAM systems have a delay of around 10 to 30 seconds after access is configured before the access may be used.
- 4.Have your colleague wait about ten seconds for access to propagate through the resource, then ask them to validate that their access works.
- 5.Your colleague's access will automatically expire after the expiration period is over. Or, they can click the "Relinquish" button in their P0 DM.
