# Requesting Access

Understand how to use the Request app as a data consumer

This section is for the data consumers that want to access data products or assets. Data consumers can search for, discover, and [request access](/SaaS/request/access-data-products/how-to-guides/requesting-access-to-a-data-product.md) to published data products and masked columns within the Request app, or they can request access to assets directly in their data catalogs. Once approved, the data consumer can query the data [natively in the data platform](/SaaS/configuration/integrations.md) where the access is provisioned automatically.

## How-to guides

* [Requesting access from your catalog](/SaaS/request/access-data-products/how-to-guides/requesting-access-from-your-catalog.md): Request access to assets in your data catalog.
* [Logging in to the Request app](/SaaS/request/access-data-products/how-to-guides/logging-into-marketplace.md): Sign in to the Request app for the first time.
* [Requesting access to a data product](/SaaS/request/access-data-products/how-to-guides/requesting-access-to-a-data-product.md): Request access to a new data product.

## Reference guides

* [Data products and assets](/SaaS/request/access-data-products/reference-guide/data-products-and-assets.md): This reference guide describes what data products and assets are and how they differ.
* [Access to data products and assets](/SaaS/request/access-data-products/reference-guide/data-product-access.md): This reference guide describes the way that Immuta grants access to data sources through assets and data products and how that combines with current policies in the Govern app.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.immuta.com/SaaS/request/access-data-products.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
