Application Security Office
The Application Security Office (ASO) is a unit of the Department of
Information Services in the Division of Information Technology. We are
located in the Information Technology Center, Room 280 or 282, and can be contacted by telephone
at 766-5747 or by e-mail at accounts-it@uwyo.edu.
What we do:
Our office provides University of Wyoming employees and departments
access to Administrative Computer Systems
and provides account and violation monitoring.
Access and Account Maintenance
The ASO processes requests for access to Administrative Computer
Systems. To obtain an account for the Banner Student Information System, PISTOL
PeopleSoft Financial Information System, HRMS PeopleSoft Human Resources
System or Advance Advancement and Alumni system, please submit
the appropriate form found on our Account Action Forms web
page. These forms contain instructions on the procedure required to
obtain your account. Contact Client Support Services at 766-4357 option
1 for assistance with the installation of these programs.
Note: You are required to have an account on the UWYO
domain to submit a request for a SIS,
PISTOL, HRMS or Advance account from the
Account Action Forms web page.
Your password is yours and yours alone. If a co-worker requires
access to a system to act as your backup, an account must be created for
that person. To request an account, the appropriate forms can be found
on our Account Action
Forms web page.
The SIS Banner system will not prompt you to enter a new password;
however, our office promotes the frequent change of passwords. Every
sixty (60) days please change your password to something that is six (6)
to eight (8) characters long and nothing that you have used before.
The remaining systems, Advance, HRMS, and PISTOL, will prompt you to
enter a new password every sixty (60) days. Please change your password
to something that is six (6) to eight (8) characters long and nothing
that you have used before. The Advance system also requires a special
character to be included in its password. For instructions on how to
change your password, please call our office at 766-5747.
Please use non-dictionary words that have special characters, #, and
$, or a number inserted in the middle of the word. The reason for this
is to avoid ease of password ‘cracking’ by unauthorized users.
If you forget your password or are having problems accessing your
account, call the Application Security Office at 766-5747. In most cases
we will reset your password at your request and send you an email
confirming the password change. If you don’t receive the confirmation
email, contact the ASO at the above number.
If you transfer to another department on campus your access may not
follow to your new position. The supervisor from your new department
needs to fill out the forms on the ASO web page to request that your
accounts be transferred to your new position.
If you leave the university, please have your supervisor contact the
ASO to remove your accounts by filling out the appropriate form(s) from
our web page. Once we receive the form(s) we will process your request
to have your account(s) removed.
Account and Violation Monitoring
The ASO monitors these accounts, and investigates any suspicious
activity.
