How to Review or Remove My Access

OrangeAccess allows you to see the access you currently have and, when appropriate, request to remove it. This helps keep your access up to date and ensures compliance with University security policies.

Why Remove Access?

Regularly reviewing and removing access you no longer need is an important security practice. It:

• Reduces risk by ensuring only the right people have the right access.

• Keeps University systems compliant with audit requirements.

• Helps you avoid clutter from old or unused roles.
