How to request just-in-time access to private network resources protected by Cisco Secure Access through P0 via Slack, Teams, Webex, the P0 CLI, or the P0 dashboard.
This guide explains how to request just-in-time access to private network resources protected by Cisco Secure Access through P0.
When your organization uses P0 with Cisco Secure Access, you can request temporary access to private resources (servers, databases, applications) without permanent access rules. P0 creates a time-limited Access Policy rule in Cisco Secure Access and automatically removes it when access expires or is revoked.
Before requesting access, ensure you have:
P0 access: Your P0 account is set up and you belong to the relevant access groups.
Cisco Secure Access client: Install the Cisco Secure Access client application on your workstation.
SSO credentials: Your identity provider credentials (for example, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID).
Open the P0 app and navigate to the Access Management page.
Click Request Access.
Click the dropdown for Resource and select Cisco Secure Access.
Select your Organization and enter the Private Resource name or ID.
Enter Reason access is needed and Requested access duration. Both fields are optional.
Once you submit the request, an approver can navigate to the Access Management page, select Approve, and approve the request for a specific time. If the system is configured for auto-approval, it grants access immediately.
To revoke access early, an approver can navigate to the Access Management page, select the Prior Approval tab, and click Revoke.
Open the Cisco Secure Access client on your workstation.
Log in with your SSO credentials.
Connect to the private resource using its private IP address.
P0 automatically removes the access rule when the granted duration expires.
