Background

But sometimes when you set up an app, you'll ask yourself -- what will it look like for someone to request access to it? When are the approvers notified? When are the admins notified?

Behold...below you'll see a single diagram that walks you through the entire workflow of a request!

Use this to understand how the AppStore automates tasks behind the scenes so that you feel confident that your settings will work the way you expect.
