# Request access to an account shared via a host-guest partnership

This article describes how to request access to an account shared via a host-guest partnership.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Who can use this feature?**

* Workspace **Admins** and **Users** with the **Manager** role on an account
* Available to Cerby Automate
* Only supported using the Cerby web app
  {% endhint %}

As a guest workspace member with the **Manager** role on an account shared via a host-guest partnership, you can request access to account **Owners** from the host workspace.

This request can be accepted or declined; when accepted, the account is shared with the specified guest workspace members.

To request access to an account, you must complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your corresponding [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace.
2. Click the **Request share access for this account** icon from the corresponding account card on the **All accounts** page. The **Request share access** dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter in the search bar the name or email address of the guest workspace member you want to share the account with.
4. Select the corresponding member from the list. The user is added to a list below the search bar.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary.
6. Select the role to assign to the guest workspace members on the shared account:
   * **Collaborator:** With this role, guest workspace members can only log in to the shared account.
   * **Account manager:** With this role, guest workspace members can log in to the shared accounts and request access to these accounts for other members.
7. Click the **Send** button. The dialog box closes, and a success message box is displayed.

An email is sent to the account **Owners** from the host workspace to inform them about the access request.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**IMPORTANT:** Access will be granted to the specified guest workspace members only after any account **Owner** from the host workspace has accepted the request.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/cerby-web-app/partners/host-guest/request-access-to-an-account-shared-via-a-host-guest-partnership.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
