FAQ: How do I get access to TRACS?

\uD83E\uDD14 Problem

\uD83C\uDF31 Solution

Your manager or supervisor should request access to TRACS for you. They will need to provide the department numbers to which you need access and the role(s) for each department.

Alternately, if someone in your department has the same permissions in TRACS that you will need, you manager can ask that your access mirror that of the existing user matching your role.

For reference purposes, I have included the roles that exist in TRACS below.

1. Administrators

   1. Read/Write access to data.

   2. Set up and manage Faculty, Packages, Commitments, Allocations, etc.

2. Financial Administrators

   1. Will be notified of allocations being requested/processed.

   2. A financial Admin must have Administrator access as well to add/edit commitments/allocations

3. Package Approvers

   1. Will be notified once the package is ready to be sent through the approval process

   2. They can view data but not edit.

   3. Approving a package within their Org will send it to the next stage of the approval workflow

4. Reviewers

   1. Able to look over a package and insert a comment about the package while they are reviewing it.

   2. They are not required to review the package unless a policy is set in the Org

5. Point of Contact(s)

   1. Notified once a package is fully approved in all related orgs.

   2. A point of contact (POC) can be specified for each package type.

Package Types: New Hire, Retention, Cost Share, Other.
