Reviewing an Access Request

When a user submits an access request for a model, it enters the review process. Access request reviews are typically handled by the Model Senior Responsible Officer (MSRO) (or equivalent review role configured for the schema).

Common questions this page answers:

• How do I review an access request?
• What happens after I approve an access request?
• Who reviews access requests?

Finding access requests to review

Navigate to the Reviews page from the navigation bar. Access requests awaiting your review appear in the Your open reviews tab.

Reviewing an access request

Open the access request, examine the requester's details and justification, and submit your decision.

1. Select the access request from your review queue
2. Click View access request and examine the request details:
   • Who is requesting access (the requesting user or group)
   • Why they need access (the justification provided in the form)
   • What permissions they are requesting
   • When the access should expire (if an end date is specified)
3. Add a comment explaining your decision
4. Choose your decision:
   • Approve - grant the requested access
   • Request changes - ask the requester to provide more information or modify their request

After approval

Once an access request is approved:

• The requesting user gains permission to download files and pull container images from the model
• The access request moves to the Your archived reviews tab on the Reviews page
• The requester is notified of the approval

After requesting changes

If you request changes:

• The requester is notified and can update their access request
• Once updated, you can review the request again
