Step 1: Obtaining eProcurement Access as a Campus/System User
Department users are granted access through the PeopleSoft Access Request System (PARS) which is part of the Security module within PeopleSoft.
The Department’s Fiscal Officer should contact their appropriate Accounting office (see below). Accounting will create and submit the PARS for the requested access which will route electronically to the PARS Approver based on the requested role. Once the PARS Approver has approved and the role has been added, the new eProcurement Requester will be notified directly by email. The access request may be submitted before or after training, although we recommend submitting prior to training so that users have the access needed once training is complete.
