How will I be notified of a permission request for my dataset and how do I process the request?

Once a user has requested access to a dataset, an email will be automatically sent to you. The message contains a link to the page where you can reject or grant access to the file(s). You can also navigate to this page by finding the dataset under ‘MyData’ and then going to the ‘Edit Dataset>Permissions>File’ page. On this page, you can see all the requests and you can grant or reject access. A user will be notified by email once their request is processed.

Note that depositors are encouraged to process permission requests as soon as possible and at least within the maximum timeframe specified in the Terms of Use.
