How to enable non-workfront users to be able to submit requests?

I have a team that want to use the Requests section to manage their incoming requests, however, they want anyone in the company to be able to submit requests into their queues because anyone in the company can submit a request for printed materials. The issue is that we don't have the entire company using Workfront, nor is there a process in place for me (the systems admin) to get information on all new hires to add them into workfront as requesters. Is there a way to enable the request queue to be submittable by non-workfront users if they're given a link to the Request?

Hi Naushin,

Someone must have at least Requestor access in order to submit requests in Workfront. External users can only see reports and documents that have been shared with them.

This article should provide you with more information on this topic: https://one.workfront.com/s/document-item?bundleId=workfront-classic&topicId=Content%2FAdministration_and_Setup%2FAdd_users%2FAccess_levels_and_object_permissions%2Faccess-levels-by-license-type.html

Best,

Hannah

What is possible to be done if you have SSO in place: autoprovisioning access granting requestor access by default.

Yup, exactly my thought. My company uses SSO and we auto-provision to grant Reviewer access. We used Fusion to create a request queue for PTO.

I'm interested in this as well. We have a new group we've onboarded into Workfront and they're going to require Workfront for work requests--but the people who make the requests will only need Workfront for that and that alone. I just want to be sure that I don't screw everything up with our existing users. (They're still angry about the New Workfront Experience. 😅)
