Monthly License Change Requests [1]

April 22, 2026 by Melanie Jones [2]

THIS WIKI IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. DO NOT SUBMIT REAL LICENSE CHANGES UNTIL APRIL 23RD, 2026, AFTER ATTENDING TRAINING (OR WATCHING THE RECORDING) AND COMPLETING THE ASSOCIATED QUIZ. PROCESS CHANGES WILL BE PRECEEDED WITH THE WORD 'CHANGE'.

This resource is designed for eComm specialists who are responsible for submitting provisioning and deprovisioning requests for their campus. Learn how to submit requests while being mindful of important deadlines and details that affect the user experience.

Recorded Training | April 22, 2026 [3]

The recording is only accessible to eComm specialists with SharePoint access.

Exceptions to the following process and timelines CANNOT be accommodated.

Provisioning Requests

CHANGE: eComm specialists can submit access request changes once:

  • the new user's contact record in Salesforce has the correct employee details, including:
    • Their university email is populated in a university email field (for example, a CU Boulder employee should have a UCB Email populated)
    • They have an employee ID
    • They have an active CU Employment record
  • the new user has completed pre-access requirements [4]
    • including a signed new user eComm agreement (which can be verified by them being in the 'eComm User Agreement' Campaign) and
    • completed Percipio courses (they should have provided you with a screenshot of their learning transcript)

The System team addresses requests submitted by the end of the month in a single batch during the first week of the following month, where new users get their credentials and training materials around the 5th.

    • *You'll only see users who have the same campus as the user being provisioned.

What is 'Net New'?

When you look at a license, you may see the "Net New" box is checked. This is important for billing purposes. The Net New field on the license object will automatically be checked if you provision a new user and do not indicate they are taking a license from a soon-to-be or recently deprovisioned user.

When the fiscal year (July 1) begins, document the number of licenses you have for each application. Any licenses that you request throughout the year that exceed these original counts are considered 'net new'. For example:

  • If a licensed employee leaves and the new position is filled, you likely will submit a deprovisioning request and a provisioning request. Swapping a license like this will not be 'net new'. 
  • Suppose a group decides to no longer use eComm (resulting in one deprovisioning request) and a different group decides to start using eComm (resulting in one provisioning request). In that case, this license swap will not be 'net new'. 
  • If a new group decides to start using eComm or an existing group expands (resulting in provisioning requests), this will increase your original license counts and is 'net new'.

Important Timing

Provisioning

Last Day of the Month
  • Provisioning requests MUST be provided by the last business day of the month to be addressed during the first week of the following month. 
  • eComm specialists are encouraged to confirm a new user's contact has employment details populated correctly as early as possible (see Provisioning Requests section for full details). Fixing this requires coordination with campus HR and/or OIT, which may take a few days. 
Around the 5th of the Month
  • New users can anticipate credentials around the 5th of the month.
  • eComm specialists are CC-d on the first new user emails, including credentials, reminders to complete the quiz, and when they complete the quiz. 

Deprovisioning

60 Days After Getting Provisioned
  • New users who fail to complete training and the quiz after 60 days should be deprovisioned (per the user agreement). The eComm specialist should 1) intervene when CC-d on 4 reminders to complete the quiz and review ROW 3 of the license Dashboard to see when the 60 days have passed.
Six months After Not Logging In
  • Users who do not log in for six months should be deprovisioned (per the user agreement). eComm specialists are encouraged to audit this information in each tool.
Percipio Course Compliance
  • Users must re-take the pre-access Percipio courses every 1-2 years. The system office automatically sends annual reminders to users and will reach out to an eComm specialist when a user is no longer compliant and needs to be deprovisioned. The eComm specialist is given a last opportunity to encourage the user to complete the necessary courses before being deprovisioned.

New User Experience

Four Steps to Get Started with eComm for New Users [6]

 

STEPS 1 & 2 | Discovery & Pre-Access Requirements

  • eComm specialists should submit a provisioning request after meeting with a potential user for discovery [7], an important step to ensure eComm is the right fit. Pre-access requirements [4] must be completed by the last business day of the month for provisioning to occur during the first week of the following month.

STEP 3 | Login Details, Training & Quiz

  • The System team will notify new users when their credentials are ready (around the 5th of the month) with the eComm specialist CC-d. New users will also receive relevant training courses and a short post-training quiz, to be completed within the first month.
  • Once new users complete the post-training quiz, they will be granted access to send Marketing Cloud emails and/or have Cvent events approved. They will be notified via email (with their specialist CC-d) and provided with continued training resources.

 Users who do not complete the post-training quiz will be reminded to do so. If the quiz is not completed after 60 days of obtaining access, eComm specialists are encouraged to deprovision them.

  • Scroll to the 2nd row on the license dashboard [9] to view deprovisioning requests that will be addressed during the first week of the following month.
  • CHANGE: Salesforce is deprovisioned immediately upon submission, although they will be billed through the end of the month. Submit the request when they no longer need Salesforce access.

null

Cvent Only Licenses

Chatter Free Users

Many users have a license in Cvent ONLY - and thus only pay for Cvent. If you are looking at a user's license record and notice both Salesforce and Cvent are checked, also look under the 'Permissions' section to see if the 'Salesforce Profile' is 'Chatter Free User'. This means they are not paying for Salesforce access and instead have a 'Chatter Free User' in Salesforce, which is free. This grants them access to the Collaborative Community [10] in Salesforce devoted to Cvent. See the example below.

If a user wishes to see Dashboards in Salesforce (or anything more than participate in the Collaborative Community), they require a full Salesforce license.
