• Description: A standalone workflow that assumes the management of a request from a main workflow.

• Key Concepts: 
  Detour is a feature in SAP GRC Access Control that allows users to temporarily bypass certain access control rules. This feature is used when a user needs to access a system or application for a short period of time, but does not have the necessary access rights. Detour allows the user to bypass the access control rules and gain access to the system or application. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Detour, the user must first request access from an administrator. The administrator will then review the request and determine if Detour should be enabled. If approved, the administrator will enable Detour for the user and provide them with a unique code that must be entered into the system or application in order to gain access. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that Detour should only be used when absolutely necessary, as it can potentially create security risks if not used properly. Additionally, it is important to remember that Detour is only a temporary solution and should not be used as a long-term solution for granting access rights.
