Grant Access

MyFD access is granted via ASTRA, by department authorizers. 
If a user has Inquiry access and needs to be granted Expense Transfer access, it is a best practice to edit the existing access, rather than grant new access.

1. Log in to ASTRA
2. Select the Search & Edit Authorizations tab
3. Enter the employees name (last, first), UWNetID or EID
4. Click the Find and Verify button
5. Select the appropriate person from the list, if more than one name appears
6. Click on Show Advanced Search Options, (just below the yellow search button)
7. Select MyFD from the applications drop down menu.
8. Click on Search for Authorizations Now

Note: If no results are returned, follow instructions below for granting initial access.

9. Click Edit next to the access to be changed
10. Select the Expense Transfer action and unit staff role from the dropdown menu
11. When finished, click on Ok, proceed to cart
12. After all edits have been made, click on the Cart/Checkout tab
13. Review the authorizations granted and click on Checkout Now
