# Manage resource requests

When a staffing profile is created, its positions represent roles without specified resources. Project managers can send resource requests from the staffing profile to the relevant resource pools. The resource manager reviews these requests and makes assignments to each resource requests. This section describes how to manage resource requests.

## Locations to manage resource requests

Resource managers can manage resource requests from the staffing profile and the Resource Allocation Management page. The staffing profile handles requests from a specific profile, while the Resource Allocation Management page enables the resource pool manager to manage resource requests from multiple staffing profiles for a single resource pool.

## Manage resource requests

Resource pool managers can do the following to manage resource requests from staffing profiles:

Action | Description
--- | ---
Collect resource requests | View the staffing profile positions that request resources from your resource pool.
Get resources recommendations | Use the Resource Management Optimization (RMO) to get resources recommendation for the positions you want to assign resources to.
Assign resources to resource requests | Assign named resources to resource requests.
Reject or forward resource requests | Reject a resource request or forward it to other resource pools if you resource cannot fulfill the resource request.
Assign promised allocations | Promise an allocation to a resource request without specifically naming the resource, and assign a specific resource at a later time.
