To respond to the Request for Access, do the following:

  1. In the email notification, click the Respond to the Request button.
  2. Sigma opens with the Share Dataset modal, allowing you to view the current access requests. Optionally, click the permission drop-down menu to select the level of access the user should have.
    Note: The user cannot be granted access higher than what their account type allows.
