Expanded Access

If an employee needs "expanded access" to special computer systems on campus (i.e. iSeries, Jenzabar [CX], Faculty webpage, etc.), a supervisor will log-in to myBYUI and click on the "employee" tab. Then click on the link entitled "Supervisor Request for Special System Access." Provide the necessary information.
PLEASE NOTE: Before a supervisor can grant expanded system access to an employee, that supervisor will need to be added to a database of authorized users. To be added to this database, please contact Patrick Powell in the HR office. Only one regular full-time employee per department (preferably a manager or director) will be able to grant access to special IT systems.

If you have questions or comments, please contact the BYU-Idaho Support Center (ext. 1411) or contact Patrick Powell in Human Resources (ext. 1709).
