Requests


📝 Note

To view request proof, users must fall into one of three categories:

  • Be a manager of the audit - In the Audits module, managers have access to all proof within an audit.

    If you are the manager of a request, but a contributor of the audit without any inherited access, you cannot view proof linked to the request. This helps protect sensitive data that some users shouldn’t see. As a result, only managers can export audit proof.

  • Have inherited manager access from a control or label

  • Have inherited contributor access from a control or label

Further, external auditors can only view the Proof and Audits tabs, and can only view proof when a request’s status is set to Submitted to auditor.
