Data Farm Quick-Start: Apply for access to a dataset

Apply for access to a dataset

While some datasets are publicly available, others have specific access requirements. If the dataset is public you can skip to querying the data; otherwise, you'll need to fulfill access requirements before you can fully utilize the data.

On the right side of all restricted dataset pages is a box which displays your current access level, and (if applicable) a button to apply for additional levels of access.

 When you select “Apply for access,” a pop-up will display the requirements for additional access levels. In this example, the user doesn’t have data access.

 When the user selects “Apply” (for data access), they will be asked to agree to a Data Use Agreement. The Data Use Agreement describes conditions for using the data.

 Once the user has agreed to the Data Use Agreement, they will see that their access levels have updated.
