My Requests & My Approvals modules

Only available when you have Refined Sites for Jira Service Management Cloud. 

The My Requests module shows users their open requests in a JSM project, and the My Approvals module shows their closed ones. Users can filter the requests based on status and request type. They can also use the search bar to find requests.

This module is only populated for logged-in users: it is empty for anonymous users. We therefore suggest setting up View Permissions on the module’s section to only show it to users logged in to Atlassian.

Logged in users can also always access an overview of their requests by opening their User menu in the navigation menu > clicking My requests.
