Request Access to a Data Product

Found data you want to use? Request access from the Marketplace. Approval grants you access to the actual data in the data platform.

Before you start

  • You are a member of the organization. If you want to consume data on behalf of a team or data product, you need a role that may request access (Owner, Editor, Approver, or Member — see Roles).

Steps

  1. In the Marketplace, search or browse for the data product you need.
  2. Open it and pick the output port that exposes the data you want (a data product may offer several — e.g. PII vs. non-PII, or different versions).
  3. Click Request Access.
  4. Choose who the access is for — yourself, or a team / data product you belong to.
  5. Enter the purpose: why you need the data. This is required — it documents the use and creates lineage between data products.
  6. Submit the request.

Wait for approval

  • If the output port has auto approve, access is granted immediately.
  • Otherwise the owning team reviews and approves or rejects your request. You're notified of the decision. See Approval Workflow.

Once approved, access to the data is provisioned in the underlying platform according to the data contract's terms of use.
