Abstract

A method and system for assigning a role within an enterprise. The method and system can include a requester selecting a role to which he wishes to be assigned, selecting an administrator authorized to grant the selected role, and submitting a request for the selected role to the selected administrator. The administrator can then approve or deny the request. These actions can be done in a web-based computer program. The selection of the role or the administrator can be made from a list of one or more roles or administrators available to the requester. The submittal of the request can be done by the interaction of the web-based computer program with an e-mail program. Records of the submittal of the request and of the approval or denial of the request can be maintained in an archive data store coupled to the web-based computer program.
