Notes

• The connection setup should take up to a few minutes.
• A browser refresh might be required in order to see the changes.

There are 2 ways to assure the connection was successfully established:

1. Workflows - A new section, 'in schedule' will appear, and the on-call groups will be listed below.
   1. On-call access clarification
      • When using Team or Schedule in the workflow, access requests are restricted to users who are currently On-Call. This design ensures that only active responders can request access.
      • To allow all schedule members (not just on-call users) to request access, create a group containing all schedule members and use that group in the workflow.

2. Policies - On-call groups will be populated once creating a new policy or editing an existing one.

🚧

Note

If you cannot see any of your on-call groups populated in Entitle, please reach out to Entitle on your Slack/Teams channel.
