CU System Accounts

At this time the CU System Administration has several different user accounts used for accessing different resources. Over time UIS is working to reduce this number and use the CU System ID for access to all resources.

Accounts:

CU PeopleSoft ID

What is a CU PeopleSoft ID?

A CU PeopleSoft ID is a directory account used by IT professionals and some business office super users to log into specific PeopleSoft resources that cannot use the CU System ID or campus credentials. Example are Application Designer, Excel to CI functionality, PeopleSoft Test Framework, etc. A CU PeopleSoft ID is NOT required for general access to PeopleSoft applications.
