Provisioning

Description

Provisioning is the University's process for UA staff and faculty to request to add/modify or remove functional access to UAccess and related systems and is under 24/7 General IT purview.  All provisioning access begins with AccessFlow, link below (also known as Access Provisioning Tool-APT). If you are new to the University of Arizona or to accessing the Academic Structure Tables in UAccess you will need to first complete the Security Awareness Training. All-access requests will route through your selected College's or Department's Access Provisioning Liaison.

Curricular Affairs' access roles are requested to gain access to Course Add, Modify, or Inactivate forms, New Academic Program Proposal form, and the annual Curriculum Update for Undergraduate Academic Advisement Reports. Below are the specific details for each area.

UA Course Management Forms Approver Updates:

If forms are in-process in the UA Course Management system and an approver is updated please review the following:

  1. Once an approval step is reached the contacts are fixed in the system. If the step a form is currently on is being updated to include a new or additional approver, and the department needs that new approver to take action on the form the department initiator will need to email courseapprovals@arizona.edu with the NetId for the new approver, the form types, and transaction numbers needing updated. Our staff can then manually swap the new staff member into the step the forms are currently on.  The staff member may then use UA Course Add/Modify/Inactivate to access and approve or deny the forms.
  2. In-process forms that have not reached the approval step that is getting a new or back-up approver will update automatically to include the newly provisioned staff.  
  3. Any forms with the step already approved by the previous approver will finish out with no updates, as approved steps are fixed.
