About CUNYfirst Security Roles

All Baruch faculty and staff have been assigned initial security roles upon activation of their CUNYfirst account. However, roles may need to be revised to include or remove access according to tasks assigned to the individual. Changes are made by the Applications Security Liaison (ASL) team, who have been trained to update roles, based on a security access request form submitted by the requester and approved by business managers.

For most forms, the approval process for a role in CUNYfirst is as follows

1. The requester will download and complete the employee information section on the relevant security access request form found at the CUNYfirst Security site.  The confidentiality agreement code must be included on the form.
2. The requester will provide the form to their manager.  The manager will work with the business manager (also known as the subject matter expert) to check-off the roles required for access.
3. The manager will complete the managerial approval section and sign the completed form. The business manager will also need to sign the form.
4. The requester or their manager should submit the signed and fully approved form to the ASL via a ServiceNow ticket and attach the form to the request.
5. The ASL will process the request.  Note that incomplete forms can’t be processed.
6. The ASL will alert the requester, via the help desk ticket, that their access has been assigned in CUNYfirst.
7. The requester will log in to CUNYfirst to confirm their access.
