Access/Roles

The Data Access Guidelines for Access to Financial Data govern the access to financial data at UW. This allows authorized UW employess unrestricted access to financial data created by and maintained in the UW’s Financial Accounting System (FAS) and the information from FAS that resides in the Enterprise Data Warehouse.

MyFD access is removed via ASTRA by department authorizers.

To remove 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. Read more about MyFD access on our webpage.

How to identify your department authorizer:

Any UW employee can use ASTRA to view their MyFD authorizations.

1. Login to ASTRA using your UW Net ID and password
2. Click on "Show Me My Authorizations"
3. ASTRA will display a list of authorizations including ASTRA Role, Application, Role, and Limit

For example, User, MyFD, Unit Staff (Inquiry), Budget 11-1111 would indicate that you have inquiry authorization for MyFD for Budget 11-1111.

PIs should have access to all of the budgets that they are the PI for; if they cannot access one of their budgets, verify that the field "Principle Investigator ID" on the Budget Profile Report lists the correct Employee ID Number for the PI.

There is no logout button in MyFinancial.desktop. MyFD uses the same "weblogin" as many other UW applications, and therefore has the potential to sign out other applications using this service (MyUW, eTravel, WebPine, eFECS, etc.).

When you are finished browsing UW websites such as MyFinancial.desktop, always remember to log out of these sites and the UW NetID "weblogin" service before leaving your computer. To do so, simply exit your Web browser.
