Introduction
Most blocks available on UP42 are freely accessible for every user who is compliant with the UP42 platform Terms & Conditions. However, some data and processing blocks have additional restrictions. For more information, please refer to Verification and compliance. Users are able to get access to data/algorithms if they pass a preliminary screening. For the screening process, users need to fill out a questionnaire that gets forwarded to the data providers, who grant access upon examining the information provided by the questionnaire.
How to access restricted blocks
In this example, we are requesting access for the block Ship Identification.
Step 1: Add the restricted block to the workflow
For this particular case, we created a workflow that contains the blocks Ship detection and Ship Identification.
A red label Restricted Block appears. This informs that this block can be added to the workflow but it cannot be used until access is granted.
Step 2: Request access
Click Request Access, which will redirect you to a new window with a questionnaire.
Step 3: Fill out the questionnaire
In the new window, fill out all the fields of the questionnaire. The questions are shown in the table below.
| Questions |
|---|
| In what industry or vertical are you doing business? |
| Describe your potential use case for this block. |
| Where do you intend to process the data? |
| How do you intend to use the data? |
Step 4: Send the questionnaire to the support team
Scroll down and click the button Request Access. The request is sent to the customer support team, who will forward the questionnaire to the data providers. You will get notified about the status of the request via email once a decision has been reached.
Congratulations! You have successfully sent an access request for a restricted block.
