Performing an Access Request

The CNS web team typically requires users to perform an access request (outside of a helpdesk ticket) in order to give them editing privileges to calendars, the directory, or pages.  The reason for this is because the system requires a user to login at least once with their EID and Password before privileges can be granted.  The following steps are how to request editing access to a page.

 

  1. Login to the CNS Multisite (or your department's multisite).
    1. https://cns.utexas.edu/log-on-off
  2. After logging in, a teal menu bar should appear at the top of the screen
  3. Mouse-over "My Profile" and choose "Access Request" from the drop-down menu
  4. Fill out the form and describe the access that you need.  Ex:
  5. IF YOU ARE A STUDENT WORKER!
    1. Select the Radio Button "Yes" under are you a student worker.  You will then need to input your supervisor's contact information.  Fill this out before submitting.
  6. Click Submit and you should be greeted with the following message:
  7. If you do not receive a response from the web team within 1 day, or see this confirmation message please e-mail webmaster@cns.utexas.edu notifying us of your request.

Note: In most cases, we will typically require verification from your department before privileges will be granted.  You will be notified if this verification cannot be fulfilled.

Mailing List Requirement

Once you request access to the system, you will be registered by a CNS web team member to the CNS Web Editors mailing list.  You are required to be a part of the mailing list to retain editing privileges.  If you leave the mailing list, your privileges will be revoked.  Important updates about site maintenance, updates, bug fixes, etc... will be distributed through that list.

You are also welcome to register yourself on the list here:
