Access to RMS
RMS access is governed by roles defined in PeopleSoft. If you must delegate signing authority to someone who does not yet have appropriate access in RMS, you must first ensure that they have the correct role in PeopleSoft. To do this, submit a request through PSAR (PeopleSoft Access Request).
This process may take 72 hours or more so it should not be relied upon for last-minute submissions.
- Initiate PSAR process
- Once the individual has the correct role in PeopleSoft, you may add them as an Approver in RMS. Follow the Add/Delete Approvers Quick Reference Guide.
