Accessing the JEMS Authorization Form

In order to access any component of the Job and Employee Management System (JEMS) a user must complete a JEMS Production Application Role Authorization form. The form is a fillable PDF and should be completed electronically for accurate processing, including electronic signatures through Adobe Acrobat.

Form Instructions and Guidance

Section 1 - User and Position Related Information

This section captures information about the user and position.

Important notes about this section:

• Indicate whether the person who needs to access JEMS is a new user (never had access to JEMS before, including in previous jobs) or if they currently have or previously had access.
• The NetID field is required for all requests. You can look up a person's NetID using the NetID Lookup tool (a component of VCRGE's ARROW tool).
• The 3-Character Logon is required if the user has one. 3-Character Logons were assigned to JEMS users before 2018, so only people who had access to JEMS before 2018 are likely to have a 3-Character Logon. DoIT has not assigned new 3-Character Logons since then and new users will use their NetID to log in.
  
  • If the user does not have a 3-Character Logon, leave the field blank.
• The UDDS field is the UDDS of the user's job/position. This must be the full 7-character UDDS - example: A022045.
  • Common error: entering the UDDS for which access is being requested instead of the user's job/position UDDS.

Section 2 - Authorizations

This section captures information about the JEMS access that the user needs.

UDDS(s)

List the UDDSs for JEMS transactions that the user will need to access. You may enter any component of a UDDS on the JEMS Authorization Form. If a Unit, Division, or Department is listed, it will provide access to all smaller components within the UDDS. For example, requesting access to A02 will include all departments and subdepartments within the A02 division.

UDDS is an initialism for Unit-Division-Department-Subdepartment - the increasingly specific components that describe where relationships fit within the UW System organizational structure.

• Unit - single letter at the beginning of a UDDS; represents a specific UW campus or institution.
  • Example: A - UW-Madison
• Division - the two numbers following the unit code; represents a college, school, or division within the unit.
  
  • Example: A02 - UW-Madison / General Services
• Department - the two numbers following division; represents a department within the division.
  
  • Example: A0220 - UW-Madison / General Services / Office of Human Resources
• Subdepartment - the final two numbers; represents a subdepartment within a department.
  
  • Example: A022045 - UW-Madison / General Services / Office of Human Resources / HRIS
