Tenant approval for operator access to tenant data is provided. In order to grant service personnel operators access to a tenant's data for performing a requested action, a lockbox determines a security group role to which an operator needs to be elevated to perform a requested action, computes a set of internal administrators and tenant administrators authorized to grant a temporary role elevation, and sends an access control request to the administrators. Upon receiving approval of the access control request from an internal administrator and a tenant administrator, the lockbox elevates the operator to the security group role, granting the operator a set of permissions needed in order to allow the operator to perform the requested action. Accordingly, tenants are enabled to control access to their data and scrutinize access requests per their company procedures and compliance needs.
