In Okta Identity Governance (OIG) Access Requests (Classic and Resource Centric Access Requests (RCAR)), users are automatically subscribed to email notifications. Once those integrations have been configured, Slack/Teams notifications are also enabled by default for users.

Access Request notifications are split into 2 categories:

• New requests and updates - These will contain information about requests to which the user has been assigned or updates on requests that they are following.
• Notifications about expiring requests are sent 30 days, 5 days, and 1 day before the request expires. See Okta Identity Governance - Access Request Expiry.

NOTE: As of version 2025.02.0, daily reminders are no longer sent. They are replaced by the Request Expiration notifications referenced above.

In some cases, users may only want a unique combination of notifications. 

• Okta Identity Governance
