Seeing some unfamiliar names on the view download log screen yesterday made me curious, so I checked the recent downloads of our data against access requests granted. There was no match. Virtually all the recent downloads of BLS data have been made without our permission.

So much for the new access controls.

What is going on? I can't now grant any requests for access, the site just hangs, and large volumes of data are being downloaded  by people we have never heard of without permission having being granted. If the access controls have been switched off for the last few weeks (or months) surely dataset administrators should have been told?
