# Approve a request

> Approve or reject a request your IT provider has emailed you about, and correct its details first if you're allowed to.

When someone in your organisation asks for something that needs your sign-off, your IT provider emails you a link. Anyone with the link can answer, so don't forward it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the email">
    Find the email headed Approval required for your organisation's name and click **View Details**.

  <Step title="Check the request">
    Request details shows what was asked for. If you see a form instead, skip to [If the link opens a form](#if-the-link-opens-a-form).

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Correct the details (optional)">
    If you see an Edit button, click it and fix anything that's wrong. If you correct a name, the work email changes to match; pick one of the suggested addresses.

## If the link opens a form

Some IT providers send a form instead. Answer it and click Submit; Form Submitted Successfully! means they have your answer. If it asks you to sign in, see [Sign in](/guides/sign-in).
