To ensure security of the state's CPPS system, we will be requiring each agency to audit who within their group has access, if that level of access is appropriate, and if the access is still necessary. This audit is required as part of the quarterly reporting through the Financial Services Unit, but agencies are encouraged to update user access as soon as staffing changes occur. Central Payroll, in combination with the CPPS OIT team, have created an agency by agency CPPS user reports available in OnBase. These reports will be updated daily to facilitate the regular and timely updating of user access. Any new adds, changes, or removals will need to have a CPPS Security Request Form (with Statement of Agreement) completed. For removals, we only need one signature from someone in an authority position within the agency.
