Summary:
This project is to redesign the way employees are granted access to PeopleSoft. We will be redesigning the current process to request roles.
At present University employees /users submit a request to get access needed for PeopleSoft security roles. The request process is built within the PeopleSoft application. This process includes various approvals and actions to be performed by users, supervisors, data trustees and security analysts at various stages of the request process. These approval steps cause delay for users getting the access they need quickly and in a timely fashion. Users do not necessarily understand the entire process and that also creates some inefficiencies. Training completion or rather incompletion also becomes an issue in approving the access.
There are approximately 55 roles assigned dynamically to employees and students based on certain criteria and also 5 assigned to users programmatically. There are approximately 450 roles available on the access request process.
