Access Requests

When a new user opens Raaghu Spec Kit for the first time, they may need an administrator to approve their access before they can use the extension.

Important: Approving access is not the same as assigning a seat. After approval, an admin must still assign a seat in Azure DevOps → Organization settings → Raaghu Spec Kit → Users.

For users: requesting access​

  1. Open Raaghu Spec Kit and click Authorize Now (see Installation and Launch).
  2. Complete Microsoft sign-in.
  3. If your organization requires approval, you see:

    "Request submitted. Retry authorization after admin approval"

  4. After an admin approves you, click Authorize Now again.

For administrators: approving or denying requests​

  1. In the Spec Kit header (top-right), click the Access Requests icon. When requests are pending, the icon shows a count badge.
  2. Review each request (name, email, time submitted).
  3. Choose an action:

When there are no pending requests, the panel shows "No pending access requests".

Required next step after Approve: go to Organization settings → Raaghu Spec Kit → Users → Assign seat. Approval alone does not let the user into the hub.
