VPN/Remote Access Request Form: Streamline IT Approvals with AI

Simplify VPN access requests with Attain OS Forms. Atty drafts the form from project context. Review, publish, and fast-track remote access approvals.

A VPN/Remote Access Request form is the key to granting employees, contractors, or partners secure network entry from outside the office. Without a standard process, IT teams waste time chasing missing details, security risks slip through, and approvals get stuck. A well-designed form captures exactly what IT needs: user identity, device information, access duration, and manager sign-off — all in one place.

Attain OS lets you build this form inside your all-in-one operating system, then use Atty — the built-in AI agent — to draft a complete, near-final request form based on your project context. You review the content, adjust fields, and publish in minutes. No integrations, no syncs, no extra tools. Just a smarter, faster way to keep remote access secure and smooth.

Real-world scenarios

When to reach for a vpn/remote access request

New Employee Onboarding

When a new remote engineer joins, HR creates a VPN access request from Attain OS Forms. The form captures the employee's device MAC address, requested VPN group (e.g., engineering), and start date. Atty helps prefill the form with standard access levels from the company's onboarding policy.

Contractor Project Access

A short-term consultant needs VPN access for a 3-month project. The form includes a field for project end date and a checkbox for 'temporary access only.' Once submitted, the IT team reviews and provisions access for the exact duration, reducing security exposure.

Emergency Remote Access for IT Admin

During a critical system outage, an IT administrator needs immediate VPN access from a non-corporate device. The form includes an 'emergency' priority toggle and a text area for the incident ticket number. Atty drafts the form with a prominent approval workflow for the IT director.

How Atty gets you to a near-finished draft faster

  1. 1
    Describe Your Request Process

    In Attain OS, open the Forms app and start a new form. Tell Atty what you need: 'Create a VPN/Remote Access Request form for employees and contractors. Include fields for full name, email, device OS, MAC address, requested VPN group, access start and end dates, manager approval, and reason for access.'

  2. 2
    Atty Drafts the Form

    Atty analyzes your request and the project context (e.g., your company's security policies stored in Attain OS Documents) and generates a complete form with logical field ordering, validation rules, and help text. The form includes a signature field for manager approval.

  3. 3
    Review and Customize

    You review the draft. Maybe you add a checkbox for 'multi-factor authentication enrolled' or change the date range to dropdown options. Atty's draft is a starting point — you have full control to tweak every field.

  4. 4
    Publish and Collect Submissions

    Once satisfied, publish the form. Employees submit their requests through Attain OS Forms. Submissions appear in your Dashboard. You can assign review tasks to IT staff using Attain OS Tasks. No email back-and-forth needed.
