A process of notifying users about publicly available data. In operation, an authorization server receives a request from a user to access a data item. The authorization server then determines a restriction status assigned to the data item. When the restriction status indicates that the data item is not publicly available for access, the authorization server identifies access rights associated with the user to the data item. If access rights indicate that the user does not have access to the data item, the authorization server denies user access to the data item, and responsively monitors for a reclassification of the restriction status assigned to the data item. The authorization server transmits a notification to the user indicating that the data item is publicly available for access by the user in response to detecting a reclassification of the restriction status indicating that the data item is publicly available.
