Enterprise Data Systems, Business Applications
Enterprise data systems store records pertaining to human resources, student academics, and financial tracking. Business applications are tools designed to assist University employees in their business and administrative functions.On this page:
Enterprise Password
The Enterprise password is typically used by University faculty, staff, and students working for University departments to log in to enterprise systems like Financial FormsNirvana (FFN), PeopleSoft, Enterprise Document Mangement System (EDMS), and some of the databases for the Electronic Grants Management System (EGMS). Most students will NOT need this second password. The Enterprise password is used in addition to the Internet password; it does not replace the Internet password. The Enterprise password expires exactly 100 days after it is set, whether you use it or not. For example, if you reset your Enterprise password on July 5, 2006 at 09:57:13, then it will expire on October 13, 2006 at 09:57:13. To reset your Enterprise password, go to www.umn.edu/myaccount and log in with your Internet ID and Internet password. NOTE: Expired Enterprise passwords will not allow you to log in to the Internet Account Options page where you can change your Enterprise password.Access Request Form (ARF)
As a member of the University community, you will automatically have access to a great deal of public information via the Web, using your Internet ID and password. If your job requires access to certain systems holding non-public data], you will need to submit an Access Request Form. To maintain appropriate access to enterprise systems, please remember to report changes in employment status, and also follow our tips for keeping your access active.Training
Knowing how to use a system is essintial. For some systems, like PeopleSoft, training is required before you are granted access to the system. Training is recommended for other systems, such as Data Warehouse. Training information provided by OIT Data Security is a good place to start.
