Step 3: Acquire ARS Role

TerminalFOUR roles affect what you are able to modify on your department’s website. Access Request Security (ARS) Roles are used to determine security clearances and must be obtained before gaining a T4 role. There are corresponding ARS roles for each T4 role (PDF | 59KB). To acquire an ARS role, you must make a request to your Department’s Security Approver (PDF | 37KB) .(DSA)

Step 4: Add user to TerminalFOUR

Fill out the TERMINALFOUR Add User form for each user being added to the system. When new users are added to the system, they will receive a T4 role (see above) corresponding to their ARS role.

Include in the request any groups the user needs to be a member of. Groups are used to give access to sites. An example would be if you needed access to https://webservices.it.ufl.edu you would request access to the group webservices.it.ufl.edu in the form.

 

Things to Note:

  • The procedure for requesting Security Roles may vary across departments. Check with your supervisor to determine the best method of communicating the role request to your DSA.
  • There are several options for hosting TerminalFOUR, including free hosting with Infrastructure & Communication Technology (ICT). There is a posted hosting guide.
  • Web Developer and End-User training materials are available to download on the T4 Training page.
  • UFIT does not support customized versions of the UF template in TerminalFOUR.
  • Work performed in UFIT-supported web content management systems by an outside vendor will not be supported.
