Financial Production, SUMMIT Reporting, and UMass BuyWays (including the managed Travel Program access within it) use the same log-in credentials as your campus email account. Be sure that you use your full UMass Lowell email account (first_last@uml.edu or first_last@student.uml.edu) and the corresponding password.

Non-student employees are automatically granted access to the "Shopper" role in UMass BuyWays upon their hire. Additional staff access is granted upon request and the appropriate approvals. Employees request access via an electronic form with approvals from their direct supervisor. All requests get reviewed and have security roles/access approved by data custodians. Request the form needed from the table, below:

Fully approved forms are forwarded to the Security Administrator who will apply the approved security requests.

Finance Security Reference Materials

• UMass Finance Security Role Handbook - defines general access for each role; users can have multiple roles; roles define the functionality a user has access to utilize.
• Department Security Tree - used to control the data that a user can access; assigned at department and/or node level.
• Finance Standard Roles - roles all users are provided at account creation.

Password Changes

Use the MyPassword website to change your password, manage your user profile, and reset a forgotten password. Contact the campus Help Desk if you need additional assistance.

Termination of Access

Secure Access is a complex identity management technology and business process solution designed to protect University data. End users must have an active relationship with the University through Human Resources and/or Student Administration in order to access any enterprise application. Secure Access currently protects access to SiS, HR Direct, Summit, e*mpac Financials, Document Imaging and eCert. To learn more about Secure Access, see one of the following documents:
