This tutorial outlines how a supervisor can assign Budget Development access through the Access Request Form in UGA Financials.

In this article, you will learn the steps to request UGA Budget Development Access for an employee using the Access Request Form in the UGA Financial Management System.

Additional Information:

UGA Budget Development Role:

  • Role Title: UGA Budget Planning Salary Set

This role will give access to the Budget Planning and Salary Setting functionality in UGA Budget Management. A couple of items to consider when assigning this role:

  • Prior to being assigned the UGA Budget Planning Salary Set role, an employee must have access to the Budget Management system by being assigned the role UGA Budg Mgmt Access. Both roles can be assigned at the same time via the same Access Request Form submission.
  • BPSS access is granted by Intermediate Unit (IU of Division Group). The IU an employee is assigned to will determine what HR Departments/Positions they have the ability to develop funding for in BPSS.  When assigning this role on the Access Request Form, the supervisor will need to declare what IU they would like to request the employee to have access to in the justification section of the form. A list of the IUs to choose from can be found below.
  • "View Only" can be listed before the IU (for example: View Only: College of Arts & Sciences). This gives the employee the ability to see the HR Departments/Positions in the IU; however, they will not be able to take action on those positions. This is typically requested when two IUs share an employee within multiple positions so that they can see and collaborate on the salary setting between the two units.
