# Just-in-time settings API

The JIT Access Settings API allows organizations to define how long temporary access should last—and under what conditions. Admins can configure approvable, standing, and maximum access durations, create custom expiry presets, and enforce approval policies like requiring justifications or second-party approval. This makes it easy to align access privileges with least-privilege principles and audit requirements, without slowing teams down.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.p0.dev/p0-management/management-api/just-in-time-settings-api.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
