# Reviewing Install Requests

When "Force Requests for New Packages" is enabled for an ecosystem, team members cannot install new packages directly. Instead, their install attempts are sent to the Inbox for an admin to review.

## Accessing the Inbox

Click [View Requests](https://app.aikido.dev/endpoint-protection/inbox) in the top right of the Endpoint Protection page.

## Reviewing a request

Each request shows the package name, and the device it was requested from. You have two options:

* Click the **checkmark** to approve the request. The package will be allowed to install on that device.
* Click the **X** to reject it. The install remains blocked.

## Pending and Handled

The Inbox has two tabs:

* Pending shows requests that are still waiting for a decision. These need your attention.
* Handled shows requests you have already approved or rejected. Use this to review past decisions.

You can use the **Search** bar to find specific requests by package name.

## What happens after a decision

An approved request counts as an explicit allow going forward. If the same package is requested again on another device, it will be allowed automatically (see Rule 2 in Configuring installation policies).

A rejected request does not permanently block the package. If the same user or device requests it again, a new request will appear in the Inbox.
