Software Requiring Approval to Access

The Software Requiring Approval section requires prior approval before access can be granted. These applications are typically used by specific departments or business units and may contain sensitive information, specialized functionality, or licensing restrictions. Access requests are subject to review to determine whether access is necessary and appropriate based on the employee’s job responsibilities and business need. In some cases, approval from the application owner, department leadership, or another designated authority may be required. Additionally, certain applications require a user account to be created within the software before access can be provisioned, which may involve additional setup and authorization steps. This review process helps ensure compliance with UWM security standards, data governance requirements, and software licensing obligations.
