[Data-Sharing Requests](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/data-management-connect?hsLang=en#data-sharing-requests) July 12, 2026 # Respond to a data-sharing request from vendor ## Learn how to respond to data-sharing requests received from the Vendor When a vendor wants to start sharing data with your district, or requests changes to an existing data-sharing agreement, they send you a data-sharing request. You must review and approve it before data sharing begins or changes take effect. To initiate a data-sharing request yourself, see [Create a data-sharing request](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/creating-a-data-sharing-request-for-ed-tech-vendor?hsLang=en). ### Requirements - **Primary District Admin** permissions are required. ### Before you begin Check the **Home** page in Connect regularly for new incoming requests. Requests from vendors appear on the application tile and are marked **Awaiting your review** in the **Consents** tab. **![new-request](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/SP%20ecosystem/Connect/Data%20Access%20Consent%20(Request)/new-request.png?width=165&height=237&name=new-request.png)** You can also enable email notifications to be alerted when a new request arrives — see [Configure email notifications](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/default-email-notifications?hsLang=en). **Note:** Approving a request grants the vendor access to data associated with the selected schools, including teachers and students linked to the district office rather than a specific school. ### Approve or reject a request 1. Go to **Connect** \> **Home** and select the application with a new incoming request. 2. Go to the **Consents** tab and select the request with **Awaiting your review** status. 3. Review the request details (vendor message, schools included, sata attributes requested). ![](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-17-2023-12-02-01-6120-PM.png?width=670&height=719&name=undefined-May-17-2023-12-02-01-6120-PM.png) 4. (Optional) Click **Create a filter rule** to limit which records are shared before approving. 5. (Optional) Upload supporting documents such as a privacy policy or contract in the **Attachments** section. 6. Accept the **Terms of Use**. 7. Click **Approve** or **Reject**. 8. (Optional) Enter a message to the vendor explaining your decision. 9. Click **Approve** or **Reject** to confirm. After approval, the request status changes to **Approved** and data sharing begins immediately. After rejection, the status changes to **Rejected,** and no data is shared. Other District Admins receive email notifications when the request status changes, if email notifications are enabled. ### Request changes before approving You cannot edit a vendor's data-sharing request directly. If the request does not match your requirements — for example, it includes schools or attributes you do not want to share — reject it and create a new request with the correct settings. 1. Click **Reject** on the vendor's request. 2. Enter a message explaining what needs to change. Example: *"We do not share the Address Line 2 attribute. Please resubmit without it."* 3. Click **Reject** to confirm. 4. Create a new request with the correct settings.
