Data access

When organizations configure access to restricted datasets, they will often define a series of requirements that must be completed and approved prior to gaining access.

Some of these requirements are fulfilled by individual users, with each investigator applying separately. However, other requirements are configured to be approved in the context of a project, where the project itself must be approved for access. For example, an IRB protocol may be approved once per project.

Requirement approvals

When you add datasets to a project, any project requirements will appear on the Access approvals tab of this project. You can complete and submit the requirement from this page, or by navigating to any dataset and applying for access there.

When administrators respond to this approval request, project collaborators will be notified based on the project's notification settings. You can also track the status of all of your project's approvals from this tab.

Applying for access through a project will automatically grant the administrators of the corresponding organization visibility into your project.

Projects and workflow capabilities

If access to data is governed through a governed through a project, all of your analyses on such data must occur within an approved project. This means that all workflows that work with project-restricted data must be assigned to an approved project.

If your workflow is not in an approved project, you may still be able to see the workflow's contents, but you will not be able to run transforms, queries, and notebooks until either the workflow is moved to an approved project, or the workflow's project receives approval for the restricted datasets.
