Requesting Access to a Data Product

Data consumers can request two types of access from the Marketplace app:

• Data access requests: These access requests grant permission to query the data sources in a data product.

• Masking exception requests: These access requests grant permission to see unmasked values in specific columns of a data product that are normally protected by a masking policy.

From either the data product Details or Columns tab, consumers can create one of these access requests:

• If approval is not required, access (or the masking exception) is automatically granted once the user acknowledges the data use agreement and answers any required question(s).

• If approval is required, the request will enter the approval flow and appear in Marketplace as Pending.

Once a request is approved, Immuta automatically provisions access through policies in the data platform and the access request will show as Approved:

• For data access requests, the data product itself becomes available to query.

• For masking exception requests, only the approved columns are unmasked for that user, while all other users continue to see masked values.

Data consumers can filter the Marketplace view by request state (Approved, Pending, Denied) to quickly see which data products or exceptions they already have access to.

Requesting data access to a data product

The user can request data access from the Marketplace app or through a deep link URL to the request access screen which is provided in the data product or constructed from scratch.

With the UI

1. From the Marketplace app click into the Data product you want access to, or click the request access URL for an external catalog.

2. Click the Request access button.

3. Use the radio buttons to show if you are requesting access for yourself or someone else.

4. Fill out your answer to the access question(s).

5. Opt to review the information about existing policies on the Data sources tab.

6. Review and select the checkbox for the Data use agreement tab, if there is one.

7. Click Submit request.

With the API

Ensure you set the correct global segment and use a Marketplace-specific personal access token (PAT) when using the Marketplace API. See the Marketplace API docs for additional guidance or to download the OpenAPI YAML for your own client generation.
