How do I request a Banner account (eBAR)?

Electronic Banner Access Request (eBAR)

Welcome to eBAR, your way to obtain new or revised Banner access for Student (SIS), Finance (FIS), Human Resources (HRIS), Financial Aid (FA) or Student Accounts (AR). eBAR replaces the paper-driven request form. Submit electronic account requests starting Monday May 17, 2010.

Requesting new or additional access through eBAR

For new Banner users that are PSU students, staff or faculty, or for those who need additional access, begin the eBAR process by going to Banner Self Service: https://banweb.pdx.edu

If you are not a PSU student, staff or faculty member but require Banner access see the information below on requesting a sponsored account.

Login with your ODIN Username or your PSU ID number and use your ODIN password. Select the Banner Acess Menu option then select Banner Access Request Form. Review all the options on the form and select those you require. If you are requesting access that is similar to an existing employee there is a place to request that by entering that user's Banner login ID. When you have completed the online form click the Submit Request button to send it on through the approval process. You will be notified via e-mail when the process is complete.

 

To activate a new Banner account, or to reset your password for an existing Banner account, you must log in to OAM (http://oam.pdx.edu) and change your password.

 

Approving eBAR requests

When an eBAR request has been submitted, approvers will use Banner Workflow to review it and either approve it or reject it. Once a participant approves the request it will route through the designated workflow until all approval steps are satisfied. The approved request then goes to OIT for completion. Users are notified via e-mail when the request has been finished. If an approver rejects an eBAR request, the person submitting the request must act on the issue that the approver had and then re-submit it to have it once again route for approval.

Approvers may designate another person or persons to approve requests on their behalf for their eBAR role (supervisor and/or financial manager). This is called assigning a proxy. Proxies must first be set up by OIT. Contact Rita Snodgrass (ritas@pdx.edu) to determine if a proxy may already be available. Once the proxy is available for designation, you will use Banner Workflow to make the actual one-time assignment. A guide to proxy assignment is available here. If you have questions about this process please contact a Banner coordinator - SIS team x.5355, FIS (Dan Weiss - x5.3750), HR (Jessica Selig - x5.4931) or FA (James Ofsink - x5.5565).

NOTE - your login and password to Banner Workflow is the same as your ODIN login and password.
