+## States of device access to the network
+
+The device access to the dedicated network supports multiple states, i.e. REQUESTED, GRANTED, and DENIED. The networks access resource is created with a POST on the /accesses API. It contains `deviceAccess` object which contains the state information of the device access.
+
+On successful acceptance of the request, an HTTP resource is created. The response always returns a REQUESTED State. Reserved resources are only usable when the network is in ACTIVATED state.
