How do I become an Authorized Requestor?

The mechanism for becoming a Chart Authorized Requestor (and for making changes to your profile once you are) is the Authorized Requestor form (for tubs other than 610-CADM) or the CADM Authorized Requestor form (for tub 610-CADM). These forms must be submitted by a primary authorized requestor from your tub. The Primary Authorized requestor is is typically the senior administrator/officer within a tub and is ultimately responsible for the activities of all ARs within their tub.

Authorized Requestor Training

At a minimum, Applications Administration recommends basic CoA training for all new Authorized Requestors. Courses such as Getting Up and Running on University Financial Systems (offered by the Center for Training and Development) fulfill this requirement.

For CoA Authorized Requestors, Chart-Security Maintenance Application training materials are available on-line at the CSMA ABLE site at http://able.harvard.edu/coa/csma/csma_index.shtml

Contact the Applications Administrator for your tub to arrange training for cross-validation rule maintenance or Oracle/PeopleSoft security training and documentation.
