# Manage Access Requests and Tasks

Your outgoing and incoming requests are consolidated on the requests tab on your user profile page. Similar to notifications, a red dot displays on the request icon whenever you have pending requests. The sections below guide you through managing these requests.

## Manage access requests

1. Navigate to your **Profile** page, and then click the **Requests** tab. The names of the users who have submitted requests are displayed in the left pane. Once a user is selected, the corresponding pending requests are displayed on the right.
2. To view more information about the request, click the **Details** button in the **Actions** column of a request.
3. Click the **Approve** or **Deny** button in the **Actions** column of the request.

### Bulk approvals

To approve or deny multiple access requests simultaneously,

1. Navigate to your **Profile** page, and then click the **Requests** tab.
2. Select the **checkbox** next to each request you want to address, and then click the **Approve Selected** or **Deny Selected** button.

## Manage data source requests

If a policy that includes the `New` tag is active and schema monitoring is enabled or you have registered a host, Immuta applies a `New` tag to new data sources, new columns, or changed columns and sends data owners a request to validate those changes.

1. Navigate to your **Profile** page, and then click the **Requests** tab.
2. Click the approvals count in the **Request Information** column to view information about the change to the data source. The change will be one of the following:
   * Column added
   * Column changed
   * Column deleted
   * Data source created
3. After verifying the change, click **Validate**.

For more information about these requests, see the [Schema monitoring guide](/2024.3/data-and-integrations/registering-metadata/schema-monitoring/reference-guides/schema-monitoring.md#data-source-requests).

## Manage unmask requests

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Deprecation notice**

Support for this feature has been deprecated.
{% endhint %}

If users make an unmask request, a tasks tab will appear for the data source listing the target and requesting users, the task type, and the state of the task. From this tab, users can view and manage two different task views:

* **Your Created Tasks**: This page lists the status and information of the unmask requests you've submitted.
* **Tasks For You**: This page lists the status and information of the unmask requests that have been submitted to you.

To complete a task,

1. Navigate to the **Tasks** tab from the **Data Source Overview** page, and then click the **Tasks For You** toggle.
2. Click the **Unmask Values** icon in the **Actions** column of the task.
3. A dialog box will appear with the masked and unmasked value. *Note: You can view information about this request, including the reason for the request and the date is was created,* *by clicking the **Task Info** button in the **Actions** column.*

To delete a task, click **Delete Task** in the **Actions** column of the relevant task.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.3/data-and-integrations/registering-metadata/data-source-settings/how-to-guides/manage-requests.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
