Access Requests
New User Access
General access to Galaxy is automatically assigned to a new user when they receive a UT Dallas NetID. During the user’s first login, access is assigned to appropriate Gemini and/or Orion modules, depending on what type of user they are: Employee, Applicant, Faculty, and Student.
PeopleSoft Access Request
Some users require special access to perform their jobs. In order to obtain this specialized access, follow the steps below. Also, in some cases, additional training is required. For information about training, visit the PeopleSoft Training Group.
For PeopleSoft approvals please refer to the PeopleSoft Trusted Approvers document for your area and have the Trusted Approver submit the PSEC JIRA.
For OBIEE approvals please refer to the OBIEE Approvers document and have the Trusted Approver submit the PSEC JIRA for the Dashboards & Reports or Technical Answer Roles.
