System Access Review
System Access Review
Georgia Southern regularly reviews access to its sensitive systems. System Access Review, a semi-annual audit, is conducted in order to remain in compliance with the University System of Georgia’s Data Access Policy (Business Procedures Manual, 12). In keeping with this policy, ITS performs System Access Review for Banner, PeopleSoft Financials, and Touchnet. Keep reading to learn more about how to complete this process.
The Access Review Process
During access review, supervisors will have an opportunity to review the access that their direct reports have to Georgia Southern’s sensitive systems, including Banner, PeopleSoft Financials, and Touchnet. If that access is necessary for the employees to perform their jobs, the supervisor can “approve” the access and it will be retained until the next review process takes place. However, if this access is no longer needed, supervisors can “deny” the access and it will be removed.

Class & Role Descriptions
The level of access for sensitive systems are classified in “classes” in Banner and “roles” in both PeopleSoft Financials and Touchnet. These classes and roles are documented in the tables on the SAR interface along with descriptions.
For further information about Banner classes, please review the Banner User Guide, which is maintained by the Registrar’s Office.
Employee Assignments
Employees in the SAR interface are assigned based on OneUSG supervisory data. If an employee is missing or assigned to you incorrectly, please submit a request to Human Resources to have the supervisory information updated using either the link in the SAR interface or the button below.
