User will then be prompted to submit a whitelisting request when trying to request for credentials. This request can then be approved by the company on whitelist section. [Whitelist](/company-guide/whitelist.md)

When request for whitelist is approved for a user:

1. **Auto-Assign Vaults:**
   * If credentials are available, the system will automatically assign them to the user.
   * If no credentials are available, the user will be provided the option to click **Claim Asset** to manually proceed.
2. **Request-Based Vaults**:
   * A credential request will be automatically generated on the linked vault. A CSV file using user's BugBase username can be uploaded to assign the credential.
