Access requests
In Data Access, an access request is automatically generated to ensure proper authorization when users interact with the entities that they do not own
Access requests are generated in the following scenarios.
| Scenario | Description |
|---|---|
| Adding unowned data objects | When you add a data object that you do not own to your access control, an access request is generated. The owner of the data object must approve the request before their data is added to your access control. |
| Adding unowned access controls | When you add an access control that you do not own to the What component of an access control, an access request is generated. The owner of the access control must approve the request before their access control is added to your access control. |
| Requesting temporary access | If you are granted on-request access in an access control, a preapproved access request is generated when you request access from an asset that is linked to the access control. You are automatically granted access for a predefined duration (for example, 14 days), after which the access is revoked. You can request access multiple times this way, provided that you do so before the predefined expiration date. Once the expiration date is reached, the preapproval expires, and you can no longer request access. |
When you add multiple unowned data objects to your access control, one combined access request is generated, even if those data objects have different owners. However, when you add multiple unowned access controls to your access control, a separate access request is generated for each access control, unless they share the same owners.
