Welcome! This section covers two different ways to learn C1, depending on what you need:
  • Use cases — narrative walkthroughs of how C1’s capabilities fit together to solve a specific problem, like onboarding or access reviews. Start here if you’re new to C1, evaluating it, or want the bigger picture behind a workflow.
  • How-to guides — step-by-step instructions for a specific task, like requesting access or completing a review. Start here if you already know what you need to do.

Frequently asked questions

A use case explains how a set of C1 capabilities work together to solve a problem — good for building a mental model or evaluating a workflow. A how-to guide walks through one specific task step by step. Use cases link out to the how-to guides and reference docs that cover their individual steps in depth.
A request is something you ask for, like access to an app. A review is something you’re asked to do, like confirming that a colleague’s access is still appropriate as part of a user access review campaign. Both can show up as tasks that need your attention.
C1 admins control which apps and permissions you can see and request, based on your department or role. See How to request new access for more on how this works.
Someone with the right permissions — an approver, an admin, or an automated policy — can grant or revoke access on your behalf. Check How to complete access change tasks if you’re the one responsible for making that change for someone else.
C1 notifies you by email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. Confirm your notification preferences on the notification settings page.
