Overview

When and Whya new system?

Beginning in Spring 2006, a gradual transition to the online-only process began—one web application at a time. The new automated process is available now for

AUDIT, CIS, eGrants, ER, FIRST, FSP, GED, SPEARS, and Internal Applications.

The paper request process still applies for all other applications.

Method for Requesting TEA SE Access has been:

1. Applicant completes paper form, prints out and signs the request form

2. Executive Director/Superintendent reviews and then approves request by signing form

3. Form is faxed or mailed to TEA 4. TEA reviews, approves, and takes form to

Computer Access staff for processing5. Request is processed6. Notice of Approval is emailed to Applicant

IMPROVED method for requesting TEA SE access

1. Applicant fills out and “Sends” form on-line for Executive Director/Superintendent’s authorization

2. Executive Director/Superintendent logs into TEA SE, reviews on-line, and clicks button to Submit form electronically to TEA

3. TEA staff electronically Approves access Notification to Applicant of new access is automatic Online record of approval is created and is accessible to

the Executive Director/Superintendent

The New TEA SE Process begins

with…

The Applicant’s

initial request

In one of two ways: Either the Applicant needing TEA SE access

initiates the request on line, and sends it to the Executive Director/Superintendent for authorization, OR

The Executive Director/Superintendent fills in the request for the applicant and then reviews/authorizes it

How does the new process start for the APPLICANT?

For a new TEA SE user, it looks like this:

A new TEA SE applicant starts at the public TEA SE web page, https://seguin.tea.state.tx.us/appsng/um/apply.aspx and selects the application desired, eGrants here.

A current TEA SE user logs into TEA SE as usual,

The Applicant’s request has now been forwarded to the Submitter

The Submitter

SUBMITTER’s ResponsibilitiesWhen you submit a request to TEA for a TEA SE account or

access to a TEA application, you confirm that:

You have verified the identity of the applicant for whom access is requested.

UserAdmin+ application.

Click button by Submit requests for approval.

NOTE: A TEA SE applicant may produce either one or two requests to be reviewed. Either:

An applicant who already has a TEA SE account creates only one request—to add the rights for the new application.

An applicant who is new to TEA SE creates two requests: for a TEA SE account for rights to a specific application

The Submitter should select the requests in order, from top to bottom on the screen.

Click Unknown link of first request. The request for a TEA SE Account appears so that information can be reviewed for accuracy.

application to be revoked, and Click Revoke Selected.

How to Revoke Access, a Review:

How can the Submitter view a history of UserAdmin+ activity for

district TEA SE Users?

By logging into TEA SE and User Administration+ and

proceeding to…

Select View decisions made from the drop-down list, and

Click the large button beside it.

View Request Types and Dates from the main list, or

Click any username to view more details

You may need to assign Designees (backup Submitters) for your Organization

“Primary Submitters” can process requests for ALL Applications within their Organization

“Secondary Submitters” are restricted to a particular Application within the Organization

Designees

NOTE: The TEA’s current position is that ALL Designees who are “Primary Submitters” should be “Board Approved” and documented via board minutes. “Secondary Submitters” may be approved via Superintendent email.

Send all requests for Designees to: [email protected]

Avoid creating more than one TEA SE username for a single applicant—use Look Up User to assure person is not already a TEA SE user.

It will save time if you don’t have to Revoke erroneously created duplicate requests.

Cautions

Look Up Users lists all TEA SE users for the district or organization.

If an applicant already has access to an application, the Submitter needs to do NOTHING in User Administration+.

For any future change of role or revocation of access, the applicant can be looked up in User Administration+ and the request can be submitted online, just as with a new request.

Cautions

When changes are made to an Applicant’s Role or access rights, the Submitter can use the text box to add comments about the activity or even to add questions for TEA:
