In order to perform certain transactions, run reports, or view particular Workday and Human Capital Management (HCM) data, users outside of the UVA Human Resources organization (including Academic Division, College of Wise, School of Medicine, Medical Center, and UVA Physicians Group) must request a system access role from the list below. Some of these roles will require you to take training.
While you previously used Salesforce to request access to perform these actions, you can now request and receive this access on your own quickly and easily through Workday. To understand more about the move to Workday-based system access request across the University, please see the ITS Accounts and Access webpage.
