Access

Gaining access to GFS and GFS reports for administrative work requires special authority. There are multiple steps in the authority-granting process.

1. Complete the required training for the specific role you need as described below.
2. Your manager must submit a request to the Authority Grantor for your School or Business Area specifying the authority role to be granted to you in writing. The request must include your name, SUNet ID, email address, department, and an explicit statement of job responsibilities/roles requested and business justification.
3. The Authority Grantor enters role-specific transactions into Authority Manager to indicate the authority to be granted. At this time Home Department Approver is the only role managed outside of Authority Manager.  For Home Department Approver changes the Manager should submit a request through a GFS Service Now ticket.
4. An automated process matches the Grantor's entries in Authority Manager with training completion in STARS and subsequently establishes the appropriate GFS security.
