4 Lesson 1: CAR Self-Registration Objective: By the end of this lesson, the PA should know how to instruct a user to self- register for an @Work Corporate Account Reconciliation (CAR) User Profile. Why Is This Important: A Profile is basically the User ID and associated permissions that enable a user to access the system and perform the tasks/activities for which she/he is responsible. A user can self-register as a Cardmember. If any other type of access is necessary, the cardmember/user needs to contact the Program Administrator to have the additional access added to his/her profile.

13 Lesson 1B: User Registration Approval (if applicable) Objective: By the end of this lesson, the PA should know how to approve a profile in @Work Corporate Account Reconciliation (CAR). Why Is This Important: Some clients want to approve all requests for CAR profiles (IDs) instead of allowing users to completely self-register. User Registration Approval inserts the Program Administrator into the process, requiring them to approve the request before the temporary password is sent to the user.

19 Lesson 2: Searching for a Profile Objective: By the end of this lesson, the PA should know how to search for a profile in @Work Corporate Account Reconciliation (CAR). Why Is This Important: Before trying to create any new Profiles, you should search to see if one exists.

Why Is This Important: Any individual who will need access to the tool to view, review, reallocate, and/or approve transactions will need a User Profile. For security purposes, profiles should not be shared. Having unique profiles allows card numbers and access to be linked to specific individuals; it also allows the Program Administrator to monitor access and report on usage and approval as necessary to meet compliance requirements.
