PeopleSoft HR Access

By Carla Ponzio

As a friendly reminder and a reference for new users, I would like to document the process for obtaining access to People Advantage Self Service referred to by all as P.A.S.S. and access to the PeopleSoft Human Resource System.

When an employee is hired, their personal information and job data is entered into PeopleSoft. A process runs every evening that creates the user profile for the new employee. This user profile is assigned the “Employee security role” which grants the employee access to P.A.S.S. In addition, the process generates a welcome email that is sent to the employee which includes their password along with instructions for logging into PeopleSoft. All employees have access to P.A.S.S.

When employees require access to the PeopleSoft Human Resource System they must first enroll in and complete the mandatory HR View online training and quiz. Employees may enroll in the training here. After the quiz has been successfully passed, the employee must complete the security request form available here, obtain the necessary signatures and then fax the form to the Customer Service Center at 713-743-5596. The Customer Service Center will verify that the training requirements have been met and the form has been filled out accurately and completely. They will then fax the completed security request form to the HRMS office where the access will be updated. An email will be sent to the user when access has been granted.

The HRMS office is in the process of implementing the phased roll out of ePAR and new security roles have been created for the workflow routing of the electronic forms. It is imperative that all information be completely filled out on the security form, for example the department code on the form is needed to determine what row security to assign the user, which ultimately affects the eFORMS routing. Signatures are necessary to remain compliant with State Auditing policies.

Please visit the Payroll/HRMS website at http://www.uh.edu/hrms to access the security request form.


Completing the HRMS Security Access Form:

The first section of the form is informational; it includes the number where the form should be faxed upon completion and a phone number to call if you have questions.




The second section should be completed by the applicant, the grey boxes expand as data is entered in the fields.


The Operator Id Action field should have one X, Add is for new users, Change is for existing users, Delete is checked for terminating employees.

The second question should be answered, FSPRD is the PeopleSoft Finance System and the UHPRD is the PeopleSoft Student Administration system.




The Campus Id is: HR730 for Central Campus, HR783 for UH System, HR765 for UH Victoria, HR759 for UH Clearlake, HR784 for UH Downtown.

This section requires 3 signatures by Security Administration guidelines before access can be granted, if the supervisor/manager is the same person as the College/Division, signatures are still required on both lines.




The remaining section of page one is filled out by the Customer Service Center/HRMS/security administrator. Customer Service will enter the Date Training Completed, Primary Security Classes/Roles and Row Security Assigned will be filled in by HRMS, the form will be signed by the Security Administrator.




Page two of the security request form should be read and signed by the new user. A copy should be given to the user for his/her records. Violations of the rules set forth in the Confidentiality Statement could result in expulsion from the University, termination of employment and/or legal action. Please review this section with the new users.
