Access Request Form (ARF)

All users who require access to either the reporting instance (for viewing and running reports) or the production instance (for preparing or approving transactions) will need a signed ARF on file in order to gain system access.

Access to the new financial system is based on:

• A user's financial roles.
  
  
• Completion of the Training Services financial system courses and assessments.
  
  
• Completion of an ARF and its associated attachment(s). The ARF and its accompanying attachments are available from the OIT Data Security Web site.

Follow the steps here to download and complete an ARF and its attachment(s).

1. Select Word or PDF format.

2. When the page listing the individual forms appears, first download the Access Request Form, which is linked in step 1 under "How to Request Access to Data/System."

3. Then, under "Financial Systems & Data," find and click on the specific attachment(s) you need (e.g., PS Journal Entry Approval).

4. Fill out the Access Request Form and the downloaded attachment(s).

5. Submit the form and attachment(s) for the required signatures as shown on the forms.

6. Submit the signed ARF and attachment(s) to OIT Data Security. You can FAX the forms to OIT Data Security at 612-625-0303.

7. You will be notified when your access is live.

Users who require access to the financial system will also need to have an M Key. As users are identified, OIT Security will check to see if they already have an M Key. If they do not, an M Key will be sent to them. If you would like more information about the M Key, visit http://mkey.umn.edu/.
