# Intake - FAQ

### What can users access? <a href="#whatcanusersaccess" id="whatcanusersaccess"></a>

Fairmarkit [requesters](/buyers/getting-started-as-a-buyer/user-roles-buyers.md) have individual-level access to Sourcing. They can access the Intake form to request goods and services and review *their* requests from the Requests list. To invite a new business user, see Invite a user.

All other Fairmarkit users ([Observers, Buyers, Team Leads, Supervisors, Admins, and Collaborators](/buyers/getting-started-as-a-buyer/user-roles-buyers.md)) have company-level access. This means they can access the Intake form to request goods and services and review all company requests on the Requests list.

### What types of files can I attach? <a href="#whattypesoffilescaniattach" id="whattypesoffilescaniattach"></a>

Currently, you can attach *PDF* and *DOCX* type files to your request.

### What are the request statuses? <a href="#whataretherequeststatuses" id="whataretherequeststatuses"></a>

Sourcing intake requests will fall into one of the following statuses:

* **Draft**: Requests awaiting approval before being submitted for review. A request moves to this status if your company has set up request approvals and the request meets an automation rule. See [Request approvals](/buyers/requests-intake-buyers/approve-requests.md).
* **In review**: Requests submitted for review, typically before being converted into an event.
* **In progress**: Requests that have been converted into a request for quote (RFQ) or request for proposal (RFP) events and are currently in the sourcing phase.
* **Completed**: Requests that have been converted into events and have been awarded.
* **Canceled**: Requests that were rejected or deemed unnecessary.
