User permissions
The Request component is installed when the BMC Service Request Management application is installed. BMC Service Request Management is the entry point from which IT customers can interact with the IT organization. Users select IT or other business services from a Service Catalog, which the Business Service Manager sets up. Service requests can be fulfilled using the processes supported by BMC Change Management or BMC Service Desk: Incident Management. In addition, BMC Service Request Management supports all generic work-order processes.
Important
If you install BMC Service Request Management in an environment that ran an earlier version of a Remedy ITSM suite application (Remedy Asset Management, Remedy Service Desk, or Remedy Change Management), the Request component is replaced with BMC Service Request Management.
User permissions (BMC Remedy IT Service Management documentation)
How users access the Request Entry console
Any IT customer with a People record and a Read license can use the Request Entry console to submit requests for themselves and on behalf of other users. No specific permissions listed in BMC Service Request Management permissions are required.
The AR System server can be configured to
allow guest users

In single-tenancy mode, guest users allowed by the AR System server can access the Request Entry console without a People record, if the BMC Service Request Management application is also configured to allow unknown users.
