Key Control for Identity Management

The Key Financial Controls checklist includes the Identity Management control on user system access review. This control requires that departments periodically review financial system access reports to determine if an employee’s access and roles are appropriate for his/her current job responsibilities and provides for the proper segregation of duties within the unit.

Affiliate users can request system access via a Word document form

At this time, system requests for an affiliate user cannot be processed via Systems Access Request Application (SARA) either by the affiliate user or by the affiliate’s supervisor or manager. The IST-Web Applications unit is working on an enhancement. An announcement will be made when this project is completed. Until such time, affiliates should request access to BFS and BAIRS via a Word document form - please send an e-mail to secbfs@berkeley.edu.

Access automatically locked for terminated users

As part of our campus’s efforts to make our systems more secure, the IST-Database Services unit has implemented an automated daily process to identify terminated users and to lock their access on various mainframe systems. In addition, BFS Security receives a file of terminated users and locks user profiles based on this information.
