Matching Process groups.

Q. I have been working with an employee who was employed at two other colleges in the system. They are now working for College A. The user is unable to choose College A as an option for setting the Campus Preferences. The only options in the dropdown are Colleges B, C and D. They state that they have never worked for College D.  Why can't they choose College A, and why can they choose college D?

A. It looks like Campus Preferences would give that drop down choice if the user has an academic history with that school. Long story short, your user doesn't have academic history at College A; therefore, that choice isn't available. Your user has an academic history with the other three colleges and they are represented in the drop menu. Campus Preferences via My Preferences is used for the user's own information. This is associated with personal student information and not employee data access. If your user needed to access campus specific information about students in the capacity of an employee you would configure SACR values for the employee.

Q. What exactly is the Calculated Value in Set Up SACR > Security > Secure Student Financials > User ID > Student Institution Set and how does this affect student’s ability to view their Financials tab? Some students show our college code underneath it but some students show other college codes. It is a value that I cannot change locally.

A. The Calculated Value is coming from the person’s User Defaults (User Defaults 2 tab under Institution Set). That is not one that impacts their Student Financials Access, the setting for the Student Financials Account is under Set Up SACR>Security>Secure Student Financials>User ID>Student Institution Set

Q. How do we reset CS Shared Account passwords?

A. For our shared accounts in CS that are non-employee accounts, activated in OKTA, if they need a password reset, they can do it themselves as the shared user.  You can log in with that user, then click "Password Help" on gateway.ctclink.us or myaccount.ctclink.us.

Q. Why would a student exist in Campus Community, but not have a Distributed User Profile?

A. The student must have an active application, i.e., have been matriculated, for the Distributed User Profile to be created by the system.

Q. When I login to myaccount.ctclink.us/ I do not see the two legacy applications and I am supposed to have access?

A. Your local security administrator would need to add the ZZ LegacyLink and the ZZ Legacy Transcript roles to your user profile in HCM.
