How to Review or Remove My Teams Access

As a manager, you can use OrangeAccess to review the access of your direct reports and request removal when access is no longer needed. This helps ensure your team’s access stays accurate and aligned with University policies.

Why Review Team Access?

Regularly reviewing your team’s access helps you:

• Confirm employees only have access they need for their current role.

• Identify outdated access (for example, after a job change).

• Support University compliance and security requirements.

1. From the home page, click My Team.

2. Select the employee whose access you want to review.

3. You’ll see their access organized into tabs:

   • Accounts – User accounts in different systems (cannot be changed in OrangeAccess).

   • Entitlements – Fine-grained permissions (e.g., ability to run certain reports).

   • Roles – Bundles of entitlements grouped by job function, possibly across applications.

   • Access Profiles – Predefined sets of access items, usually within a single application.

   • Applications – The overall systems and applications assigned to the employee.

4. What Happens Next?

• In most cases, removal requests are processed automatically.

• For sensitive access, the request may still require additional approval (e.g., by the application/data owner).

• You can track the status of the request under the Pending Requests tile.

• The employee will receive an email once their access is removed.

✅ Tip for Managers: Reviewing your team’s access during job changes, promotions, or annually as part of compliance checks is a good best practice.
