The approval of All Data Stewards is not for access to data.
It is approval that the person applying to be a DataBlock Designer is of good standing within the Data Stewards and there are no concerns.

If no concerns are addressed within 7 days, UTS will move forward with the request.

The approval of access to data is controlled by the combination of the Argos ADO Connection and Group folders / sub-folders.
Additionally, the Business/Group Folder owners along with the associated Core DataBlock Designer will verify that all users
accessing data from their DataBlocks either have the same access in Banner or they will request they get such proper access.
This was requested by the Data Stewards in January 2016.

• Update the DataBlock Designer and Supervisor information

• Bullet the Data Stewards
• Route to the Data Stewards
