The access request system is the role-based security request system that users utilize to gain access to enterprise applications. Role requests are initiated by Department Security Administrators. For more information, please visit

The university requires a secure and reliable method of identifying members of its community for access to electronic data resources. This requires collecting and maintaining identifying attributes, ensuring that electronic identities match the appropriate persons, and mechanisms to authenticate and authorize use of those identities. College and department staff known as Primary Identity Coordinators and Identity Coordinators are responsible for creating and maintaining accurate contact and demographic information on individuals affiliated with the University of Florida. Identity Administrators have the similar ability as coordinators but may be in contact with more restricted information that is not disclosed or changed often. Departmental Security Administrator's (DSA) are responsible for granting and removing roles and permissions for access to administrative computer applications for people in their department, college or division.
This service allocates permissions and access to specific applications and application features. Requests for access are processed through departmental staff, approved by application support staff, and then implemented within the specific technology requirement. ARS Roles, UFAD Groups, and IdM Directory Registry Affiliations and other attributes comprise the data used with these access policies.
For issues regarding the use of the GatorLink Passwords, Access Request System, or any other questions regarding Identity Access Management, please contact the UF Computing Help Desk, (352)392-HELP(4357). For role requests or myUFL access issues, contact your Department Security Administrator. If you need assistance with your Identity Registry profile please contact your Identity Coordinator .
DSA Authorization Form (PDF). This form is used to designate a Department Security Administrator (DSA) for your area, or to initiate a security role change when your DSA transfers to another UF unit. This is is also the form to submit when your DSA no longer works for UF, or is no longer serving as the DSA for your unit. This form must be filled out and signed by the appropriate vice president, dean, director, or department chair. Approver Authorization Form (PDF). The individual you authorize as security role approver will have very important responsibilities. Using the Access Request System, approvers will review and act on requests made by Department Security Administrators (DSA) to grant or remove access to administrative computer applications for people in their department, college or division.
Two-factor authentication strengthens access security by requiring two methods to verify your identity. These methods can include something you know - like a username and password, plus something you have - like a smartphone app to approve authentication requests. Due to the number of attempted and successful account compromises UF is increasing account security by augmenting the thing you “know” (your username and password) with a Two-Factor Authentication platform called Duo, allowing you to use a mobile phone app and more, to protect your personal data and institutional systems.
