Using the Contracts+ Increment in the SecApp

This document contains information on how the Unit Security Contact (USC) can use the Contracts+ increment in the Security Application (SecApp) to request Contracts+ profiles and approval queue settings. The Contracts+ increment is for USCs who will be requesting access for individuals within a department or unit who need profile and approval queue assignments to complete their Contracts+ responsibilities for their department or unit.

Below is a list of profiles and approval queues that are available in the Contracts+ increment:

  • Contract Requestor
      • Description: Can do everything necessary to create a Contract Request form and submit it for approval.
  • Contract Approver
      • Description: Can approve, reject, or return Contract Request Form or a contract within their approval queue.
      • Queue Assignment Options:
        • Unit Head
        • Dean/Director
        • Chancellor/Vice Chancellor (prior approval should be received before requesting)
