Body
Overview
The General Ledger (GL) Mart in the University Data Warehouse contains financial transaction and aggregate data from the general ledger. GL transaction data is updated daily with the exception of Sunday, in addition a month end refresh occurs to produce an aggregate table and Level Reports. The data in the GL Mart may be accessed by Tableau, Cognos, SQL query, and other means.
Access to the GL Mart is governed by Federated Authorization, ensuring users only have access to the data required to fulfill their University responsibilities.
Information Technology has developed an online Federated Authorization process that makes requesting access faster and easier. It retains all the security and auditing benefits of a paper-based process while eliminating the need to print forms, obtain handwritten signatures, and fax forms to additional approvers.
To request access to the GL Mart, submit GL Mart Users Request form.
Note: if the group that grants access to specific GL accounts needed does not exist, it needs to be created first. See this training video on how to submit GL Mart CDS Group Request.
