University-wide annual system access review starting soon

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As part of annual audit requirements, managers across Penn State soon will be asked to review LionPATH and Workday access for their employees.

On Feb. 1, managers will receive an email from IdentityIQ (IIQ), the University’s enterprise identity and access management application, prompting them to verify each user has the access necessary to perform the responsibilities of their job.

During the review, if a manager indicates access is not needed, the system will automatically remove it. The review period will end on March 3, 2023, at which time any users not reviewed by their managers will have access automatically removed as part of compliance requirements.

To support managers and other stakeholders in performing the required tasks in IIQ, job aids are available in the Penn State IT Knowledge Base. In addition, the Penn State IT Service Desk will provide first-tier assistance through the Penn State IT Support website.

Using IIQ across Penn State’s enterprise systems helps automate and standardize the access to these systems, including requesting, approving, reviewing and provisioning access to meet internal and external auditing requirements and align with industry best practices.
