We hope this tour of Authority Manager has given your enough information to get started using it. Some important points to remember are:
You can grant only the authority you've been given as grantable, up to the limits and conditions set for you.
Having authority doesn't necessarily mean you can access the related administrative systems - your authority must be active. Inactive authority may be:
- pending prerequisites (such as training you must complete), or
- grant-only (such as a task you manage but don't do yourself).
Your preselected views show you your authority, your authority-granting proxies, and org views for the top-level organization(s) where you hold grantable authority.
You can look at a view for any person or organization in the university using the Tools on Authority Manager home page.
Oracle Financials Users:
Oracle Financials allows both vacation delegation (selecting someone to act on your behalf for a specified period of time) and the ability to give someone access to your Worklist (typically, to allow colleagues with similar authority to act for each other at any time, or for emergency back up) as explained at http://fingate.stanford.edu/staff/finauthority/delegate_approval_wklist.html
The URL for Authority Manager is http://authority.stanford.edu.
Thanks for taking the Authority Manager Tutorial.
