Assigning User Security Roles -- Access to myUFL systems

Individuals with authorization to use legacy systems will not automatically have authorized access to the myUFL systems. These decisions are left up to each college dean or director. The assignment of roles to users is the first step in developing the role-based security that UF Bridges will use to control access to all new computer applications. Role-based security is fundamentally different from our current method of assigning access rights. We now use a variety of methods - some are ad hoc, some are based on affiliation, some are based on job title, and some applications are assigned by security administrators directly.

Simply defined, a role is an assignable task for a given function. The roles a user has determine what menu item(s) or task list(s) the user will see when they log on to the myUFL portal. Located at http://my.ufl.edu, myUFL is the gateway to all new enterprise-wide systems. For more details, see Frequently Asked Questions: User Security Roles and Training.

Prior to the July 1 go-live, an on-line system will be available for colleges and departments to add, delete or modify user roles assigned to their employees. Until that time, we are using a series of spreadsheet exercises (see Round 1 and Round 2 below) to gather this information from the appropriate units.

Assignment of Enterprise Reporting Roles

If you are assigned a particular role that grants you access to a particular set of data, that data will be available when you open up Enterprise Reporting.
