Monthly License Change Requests [1]

August 22, 2025 by Melanie Jones [2]

AS OF APRIL 7, 2026, THIS WIKI IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WILL BE UPDATED BY APRIL 15TH, 2026. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ECOMM LICENSE CHANGES IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE DIRECT THEM TO YOUR ECOMM TEAM.

DO NOT SUBMIT REAL LICENSE CHANGES UNTIL APRIL 16, 2026 AFTER ATTENDING TRAINING (ON APRIL 15, 2026) AND COMPLETING THE ASSOCIATED QUIZ.

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.

No Exceptions Exceptions to the following process and timelines CANNOT be accommodated for any reason.

Provisioning Requests

eComm specialists submit provisioning requests throughout the month, after the following are completed:

  • Relevant Percipio courses must already be completed (confirmed via dates provided and file uploads to the user's license record), and
  • A signed user agreement (both the user and their supervisor must sign the agreement)

The System team then addresses these requests in a single batch during the first week of each month. New users will get their credentials and training materials around the 5th of the following month.

How to submit a provisioning request

Review Contact

Before submitting a request, it's important to confirm that you're provisioning the correct person based.  on their employment with CU. To do so, view the Contact record along with the Related tab.

  1. Does their university email populate in a university email field? For example, a CU Boulder employee should have a UCB Email populated.
  2. Do they have an employee ID?
  3. Do they have an active CU Employment record?*

*People of Interest (POI) POIs are a temporary type of university employee whose data displays in Salesforce differently compared to a typical employee. POIs will not have an Employment record in Salesforce, but it's important to confirm 1) that an Employee ID is populated, and 2) that their university email displayed in the respective university email field in Salesforce. The eComm specialist or POI may need to work with their campus OIT team to get their email address populated in Salesforce. Inactive POIs or those missing a university email in Salesforce CANNOT be provisioned.

What is 'Net New'?

When you request a license, you may be asked if it is 'net new'. This is important for billing purposes.

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. 
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 ??? 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 reminders to users annually and will reach out to an eComm specialist when a user is no longer compliant and therefore 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 [4]

 

STEPS 1 & 2 | Discovery & Pre-Access Requirements

  • eComm specialists should submit a provisioning request after meeting with a potential user for discovery [5], an important step to ensure eComm is the right fit. Pre-access requirements [6] 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.

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 [9] 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.
