servicenow~6 min to deploy
ServiceNow Just-In-Time Access
Temporary admin rights get a timed dossier and a revocation trail — so the grant expires whether or not anyone remembers.
For: IT and security teams granting temporary elevated access
SOC 2 CC6.2ISO 27001 A.5.18Access review evidence
What it enforces
Window ceiling
Blocks a temporary-admin grant requested for longer than the maximum window.
Revocation requirement
Escalates a grant with no scheduled revocation time attached.
Standing-access restraint
Restrains a repeat grant to a requester who already holds an unexpired elevated role.

Fork it, change the thresholds to match your environment, and deploy in shadow mode first — it defaults to listen-only so nothing in your live pipeline changes.
How to install it
Follow the install path for this surface, then paste the forked YAML as your policy config.
What to do next
This recipe is one step in a path. The same five steps apply to every recipe in the exchange.
- Simulate this recipe
Run the policy against a realistic action in the browser. Push it past what the rules allow and watch the verdict come back. No account.
- View the signed Decision Dossier
See exactly what was decided and why: the rule that fired, the evidence it read, the policy version in force, and an Ed25519 signature you can verify yourself.
- Deploy in shadow mode
Measure what the policy would have caught on your own traffic without touching the live path. Every recipe defaults to shadow, so the first deployment carries no execution risk.
- Connect a real workflow
Point the same policy at the system where the action actually originates — a checkout, an ERP posting, a Zap, an agent's tool call.
- Share the verified result
Publish the proof: a public verification link, an embeddable badge, a PR comment, or an anonymized shadow-mode finding. This is how the next person discovers Decionis.
