#PII Unlock Requests
| Role | Access Level |
|---|---|
| Client Admin | Submit call-scoped unlock requests and view sensitive access audit events |
| Client Manager | Submit call-scoped unlock requests and view sensitive access audit events |
| Client Staff | No PII unlock access |
#Overview
PII unlock is available from the Call Detail page for an in-scope call. It lets authorised Client Admin and Client Manager users submit a call-scoped request for sensitive artefacts that are ordinarily protected or redacted. Each request must include an artefact scope, a reason code, and a written justification.
The current portal does not provide a separate Compliance > PII Unlock page or a tenant-wide unlock request queue. PII unlock actions are handled from the call's compliance section and are audited.
#Prerequisites
- You are signed in as a Client Admin or Client Manager.
- The call belongs to your tenant and assigned project scope.
- The call has valid consent evidence. Sensitive actions are blocked when consent is missing or invalid.
- Navigate to Calls, open the required call, then use the PII Unlock Request panel in the call compliance section.
- You have a clear business justification for accessing the requested information.
#Submitting a PII Unlock Request
- Open the required call from the Call Log and review the consent evidence on the Call Detail page.

- In Artifact scope, choose the sensitive artefact you need. Current options are Transcript, Call Summary, Recording, Extracted Entities, and All Artifacts.
> Screenshot reference: reason code and artefact scope selection
- In Reason code, choose the purpose that best matches the request. Current options are Quality Assurance, Customer Complaint, Legal Request, Compliance Audit, and Other.
- Enter a written Justification explaining why access is required.
- If you choose Other, enter the additional reason requested by the form.
- Select Request Unlock.
The browser submits the request through your signed-in portal session. You do not need to enter or send an API key. The portal validates your role, project scope, consent evidence, and justification before accepting the request.
#Viewing the Result and Audit Trail
- After submission, the panel shows the status returned for that request, the selected scope, and any expiry value available to the portal.

- Status values are returned by AiDial and may include requested, approved, denied, expired, or revoked.
- Client Admin and Client Manager users can use the sensitive access audit table on the same call detail page to search call-scoped audit events.
> Note: PII unlock requests are sensitive actions. The portal audits successful and denied unlock attempts, including the call, project, artefact scope, reason code, and justification reference.
#Common Issues
- I cannot see PII unlock controls. PII unlock is available only to Client Admin and Client Manager users from the call detail compliance section. Client Staff users do not have access.
- The request is blocked because consent is missing or invalid. Sensitive access is blocked until the call has valid consent evidence.
- The form asks for another reason. If you select Other as the reason code, you must also provide the supplemental reason.
- My request was denied or failed. The request may be outside your project scope, may be missing required justification, may have been rate-limited, or may not meet policy. Review the message shown in the panel and submit a corrected request if appropriate.
- I need to unlock PII urgently. Use the same audited request flow and contact your partner representative if an urgent regulatory obligation requires escalation.
