Work Permits

A Work Permit authorises you to access specific applications within Connect@Plant for a defined time window. Most applications require an active, approved Work Permit before you can start them.

My Work Permits

Available to all users. Go to Work Permits → My Work Permits to see an overview of your current and past permits. From here you can create a new work permit request.

Work Permit Administration

Available to Work Permit Administrators only. This view lets administrators see, create, edit, and approve work permits for all users.

Creating a work permit

  1. From the dashboard or the Work Permits tab, select Create work permit (or Request work permit).

  2. Fill in the required fields:

    FieldDescription
    DescriptionDescribe the work you will be doing
    ApplicationsSelect the applications you need — the list shows only those you are qualified for
    Start timeWhen the work permit should become active
    End timeWhen your work session ends
  3. Click Save.

The Work Permit Manager is notified and will approve or decline the request. You will be notified by email when a decision is made (if email notifications are enabled on your profile).

Once approved, the application becomes available to start when the Start time is reached. When the End time is reached, your session is terminated automatically — your work is preserved, so you can resume if a new Work Permit is granted.

A Work Permit Manager can also create a work permit on your behalf if needed.
