Request or remove access to Banner Admin Pages

Banner is the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software product that UIndy licenses and uses. Banner allows us to record and maintain vast student, employee, and institutional data. Banner products provide the University with an integrated system for conducting the day-to-day business of the University and allow faculty, staff, and students access to information about their relationship with the University.

The data in Banner is the primary source information for many other systems.

The Banner system is accessed by most students and employees through UIndy Self-Service for registration, timesheets, etc. UIndy account-holders do not need to be granted special access to use UIndy Self-Service.

Alternately, some administrative users need access to Banner Admin Pages for day-to-day administrative record-keeping functions. In order to gain access to Banner Admin Pages, a supervisor must complete the Banner Authorization Form available in My UIndy. Basic training by a supervisor or as arranged by the appropriate Data Steward or Data Manager is required.

Helpful reminders within this ticket:

  • If access to Social Security numbers is required:
    • Check the box next to Needs SSN access.
    • Add the appropriate VP's email into the Carbon Copy (Cc) field and ask that VP to respond to the message with his/her approval within the ticket.
  • If additional access to an existing account is needed list the security class or screens in the Additional Access field. Approval from the impacted access area is still required.
