Once a Technical Contact submits a connection request, it enters a **Pending Approval** status. The request is then sent to a Mendix Admin for review:

75
-
* If the Mendix Admin rejects the request, its status becomes **Rejected**.
76
-
* If the Mendix Admin approves the request:
77
-
* In the **Change Requests** tab of the Environments page, the status becomes **Completed**.
78
-
* In the **Connections** section of the **Network** tab, its status becomes **Approved**.
79
-
* A Mendix Admin can also revoke an already approved connection, which will change its status back to **Rejected**.

Mendix Support will notify you when the connection request is added and ready to use.
The [Connections](/developerportal/deploy/environments-details/#connections) section on the application's **Network** tab allows Technical Contacts to view all connections for the environment, track pending request statuses, and delete established connections.
