Announcing Access Temporary Authentication

Cloudflare has introduced a new feature in its Cloudflare Access service that allows users to add policies granting temporary access to specific users based on approvals from predefined administrators. This feature aims to provide an additional layer of Zero Trust control for any application, whether it's a popular SaaS tool or self-hosted. The Temporary Authentication feature helps avoid overprovisioning sensitive applications and creates scoped permissions with second approval requirements. It also logs all requests and approvals for regulatory and investigative purposes. To get started with this feature, users can create an Access application in the Teams Dashboard and configure when they want to allow temporary authentication with human approval.
