Creating a security change request
Using Lumen Connect, you can request changes to Lumen security services for your organization. For example you can request firewall rule changes, adjust web content filters, or manage anitvirus settings). Once you create a security change request, you can add notes or attachments to the request to communicate with the Lumen representative assigned to the request. If you no longer need to make the change you requested, you can also close the request. If you're having problems with a security service, you can open a security repair ticket to have Lumen research the issue.
To create a security change request:
- Using the left menu, click Services, click Service Requests, then click Security Change Requests.
Lumen Connect shows all open and recently closed security change requests (by default, within the past 30 days) for your organization with a status for each request.
- Click New Change Request.
- Select the radio button next to the service you want to open a security change request for. (If you don't see the service listed, click Service ID not listed?, then type the service ID (13‑digit ID starting with FRO), select the product type and billing account, then select Continue.)
- Click Continue.
Based on the service you selected, Lumen Connect builds the security change request form. The fields vary from service to service.

- In the Attachments section, you can attach any documents (such as a more detailed explanation of the problem or additional details pertaining to your request), you can upload up to five documents (up to 20MB each). To attach a document, click Add Attachment, browse to locate the file, then click Open.
- Depending on the service you selected, use the list and Additional information regarding this issue/request field, select the type of request from the list and type your request in the field.
