Access

A user shall submit an ePASS security request form in Peoplesoft.  To expedite your Salesforce access, we recommend only including Salesforce-related roles in your ePASS request. (You can create other, separate ePASS requests for any other non-Salesforce roles at a later time.)

At time of ePASS submission we need the following for the Data Access Need:

Business case:  Work with your supervisor for a detailed justification for each role your requesting

Employee Type:  Full-time time employee or part-time temp employee or student employee

Speed chart:  We need the speed chart so ITS can do a charge back to the correct department for your license to use the Salesforce application

Role Name:  Information about the various roles available in Salesforce is described below.
