Internal users need to be in an Azure Active Directory group to use the Prepare conversions and transfers service.
If a user visits our service who isn't in the group, we should tell them they don't have access and explain how they can get it. This is to provide a joined-up experience across all channels.
Desk research
We checked the Design System to see if there's a you don't have access (YDHA) pattern cross-government.
When we couldn't find one, we asked the DfE content community if anyone has created a YDHA page. We received content from the following services:
- Register trainee teachers
- Manage your education and skills funding
Creating a design
Using our desk research findings, we created a prototype and shared this with our developers. The hyperlink on the page links to a Microsoft Form so users request access to the Active Directory group.
We also contributed to the access denied pattern on GitHub.
Next steps
- (Once we've received the Microsoft Form) Add the YDHA content to our build and ensure we provide a joined-up experience.
- Work with the Head of Design to create a YDHA pattern cross-DfE.
