- If the User Request is for Report Viewer or Report Writer, continue with Argos: User Setup.
Argos: DataBlock Designer / Data Steward Approval
- Add the message below to the Footprints Ticket
This request is for a new Argos DataBlock Designer. The Data Stewards are given the opportunity to "Approve or Deny" each Argos DataBlock Designer request. DataBlock Designer: <name>, <title, dept> Supervisor: <name>, <title, dept> Note: The Supervisor and Employee have both stated that the Employee has taken the required DataBlock Designer training and is skilled in Oracle PL/SQL. Data Stewards: Nancy Fetzer ([email protected]) Claire Rammel ([email protected]) David Archbold ([email protected]) Shane Lewis ([email protected]) or Steve Szalay ([email protected]) James Hargett ([email protected]) Leo Debiaggi ([email protected]) Lauren Jeske ([email protected]) or Chris Bowles ([email protected]) Joi M Cunningham ([email protected]) Tricia Westergaard ([email protected]) Bhavani Koneru ([email protected]) Song Yan ([email protected]) or Rueben Ternes ([email protected]) Mari Tilashalski ([email protected]) Todd Nucci ([email protected]) Sean Dillon ([email protected]) Polly Boruff-Jones ([email protected]) Mark Gordon ([email protected]) David Stone ([email protected] 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.
