# Access Provisioning

Access provisioning capabilities are at the heart of **Okta Orchestrator**. We use the concept of [**Access Entities**](/okta-orchestrator/technical-docs/access-provisioning/access-entities.md) to describe a bundle of one or more applications to which a user can request access. The Access Entity record contains information about the access it imparts as well as the behavior of that access.

There are 2 ways in which a user can be granted an [**Access Entity**](/okta-orchestrator/technical-docs/access-provisioning/access-entities.md):

1. Via request through the [**Okta Service Catalog**](/okta-orchestrator/technical-docs/okta-service-catalog.md) items
2. Via [**Access Rules**](/okta-orchestrator/technical-docs/access-provisioning/access-rules.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
You can always check which users have access to which [**Access Entities**](/okta-orchestrator/technical-docs/access-provisioning/access-entities.md) by visiting **Okta Orchestrator -> Access -> Access Entity Assignments** in the left nav.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yansalabs.com/okta-orchestrator/technical-docs/access-provisioning.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
