Mobile Device Access Simple Application Guide
Users can add/manage requests, retrieve passwords, and review password
releases/sessions via their mobile device. This manual should be used to help you navigate through the process of completing these transactions on your mobile device and is not meant to provide an in depth explanation of each process. For more details please refer to the User Manuals that can be downloaded through the desktop interface of the application.
In order to access TPAM from your mobile device your Administrator or UserAdmin will need to set your UserID up for this access on the UserID Details tab within TPAM.

If you have not replayed the session yet, you will still be able to save review comments via the mobile device.
