Using Federated Authorization for General Ledger (GL) Mart Central Directory Services (CDS) Group Request

Summary

How to request a new General Ledger (GL) Mart CDS group

Body

Overview

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.

Access to the GL Mart accounts is very granular and is granted via CDS groups.  Each GL Mart CDS group grants access to a specific set of GL accounts.  When a group does not exist, requires a change, or no longer needed, University employees may submit the GL Mart Groups Request form to request the necessary changes. 

Note: This request does not grants/removes someone's GL Mart data access.  This request is to modify the CDS security group only.  Use GL Mart Users Request form if you are seeking GL Mart access for yourself or others.
