**Changing the status of a parent object**

If changing the status of a parent object, all the relevant child objects' statuses will be changed:

* This may take time to complete with a large number of child objects.
* [When enabling a parent object, this is limited to parent objects with under 100,000 child objects](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/configuration/integrations/data-and-integrations/reference-guides/connections-overview#limitation).

You can check the status of the job with the gear icon in the UI, which will be spinning if jobs are active, or use the `bulkId` to call the [`/jobs` API](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/developer-guides/api-intro/immuta-v1-api/configure-your-instance-of-immuta/jobs).

1. Click <i class="fa-database">:database:</i> **Data** in the navigation menu and select **Connections**.
2. Navigate to the connection and go to the level of data object you want to change the status of.
3. Go to the **Settings** tab and change the **Data Object** switch to the status you want:
   * **Disable**: The data object will be disabled until manually changed. Policies will not impact the data object.
   * **Enable**: The data object will be enabled until manually changed. If the data object is also a data source, policies will impact the data source.
   * **Inherit**: The data object will automatically inherit the status of the parent data object. So if it is a table data object, it will inherit the status of the parent schema data object.
4. Review your changes and click **Save Changes**.

To update the status using the API, see the [Connections API guide](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/developer-guides/api-intro/connections-api/how-to-guides/manage-a-connection#put-data-settings-objectpath).
