How Does a Manager Approve a PeopleSoft Access Request Form?
This article covers how a manager approves a CMS PeopleSoft Access Request Form for one of their employees as part of the process to request access for the employee to PeopleSoft/CMS Human Resources, Campus Solutions, or Finance functionality.
All pop up blockers must be disabled prior to accessing the form. View instructions on Turning the Pop-Up Blocker On or Off.
Please note that the Access Request Form process is being transitioned from My Workplace to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). At the moment, only the Finance Access Request Form and HR Access Request Form have been moved to AEM; all other Access Request Forms are still in My Workplace.
What type of Access Request Form are you reviewing?
There may be some Finance ARFs and HR ARFs that are still going through the old My Workplace workflow. If you get an email about an ARF and don't see it in AEM, try following the instructions for My Workplace.
It is recommended that you use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome to access Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Do NOT use Internet Explorer.
