Establish an Account on JRS
Establish an Account on JRS Part I – Determine Group Owners Access Level Approve User Accounts Approve Requests Submit Requests View Requests Group Owner ★ * Authorized Requestor Requestor View Only Group Owner Firsts Establishes His or Her Account Group Owner Assigns Access Levels Group Owner is Responsible for Maintaining an Accurate List of Users Before the web-based system can be used, a user must first establish an account. Your request to establish an account will be sent to the group owner for approval. Before moving forward a decision needs to be made on who will be Group Owners for your company’s sub-groups. The group owner will then establish his or her account first. The group owner will then have access to provide other users for your company with the following four access levels. The group owner can also reject a requested user if need be. The 4 different access levels are View Only, Requestor, Authorized Requestor, and Group Owner. View Only – enables a user to look at the history of requests but has no authority to request changes. Requestor – enables a user to submit an add, change, delete or temporary/issue request. The request will go into ‘awaiting approval’ status. All authorized requestors will be notified via email and an authorized requestor must approve the request before batch scheduling will receive it. Once approved by an authorized requestor the request will go into ‘open’ status and batch scheduling will then begin processing within the standard turnaround times. Note: Establishing access to be a requestor isn’t a requirement. If you like, you can have all users for your company or application be authorized requestors. Authorized Requestor – enables a user to submit an add, change, delete or temporary/issue request. The request will immediately go into ‘open’ status and batch scheduling will process within the standard turnaround times. Group Owner – This level is identified for each company/sub-group client supported and the group owner is responsible for confirming all new requested users. He or she will also be responsible for maintaining an accurate list of users. Also, Group Owners do not need to be Authorized Requestors. See Appendix A for Group Owner instructions.
