Authority Setup Utility

Bulk load specification and process

The team for the business system area will complete all of the NEW authority setup in UAT before proceeding. This must be done using the Authority Manager setup Apex application.

  1. A system area team member will then use the Grant Super User to grant the newly created authority setup to a SUNet ID— i.e., hennessy or some other appropriate initial grantor.
  2. This team will then create a tab-delimited input files for all assignments which are to be bulk loaded.
  3. Bulk loading of initial assignments into Authority Manager UAT can then be completed using the  Bulk Load Authority.
  4. Once the authority setup is ready to be moved to production the MaIS team will export the setup from UAT and import it into production
  5. The MaIS team will then will then use the Grant Super User to grant the newly created authority setup to a SUNet ID— i.e., hennessy or some other appropriate initial grantor.
  6. The last step is that the MaIS team will use the tab-delimited file to complete the production bulk load.

Additional Information and important things to consider

  • Items required for each assignment row:
    1. grantor - (univid, sunetid or regid of the authority assignments grantee)
    2. id - (univid, sunetid or regid of the authority assignments grantee)
    3. 4-character admin id of the organizational scope of the assignment
    4. function id
    5. 0 or 1 (0 = not extensible; 1 = extensible)
    6. 0 or 1 (0 = not grant only; 1 = grant only)
  • More than one grantor can be represented in a file, but not within a single row of data.
  • Upon request the MaIS team can provide (2) output files as a result of a bulk load of a single input file: One tab-delimited file containing the assignments which succeeded during load. File format matches that which is defined in req. 3.5. and another with the failures.
