Determining the Appropriate Role
To gain access to Slate environments, you will need to request a PeopleSoft role using our Slate Security Request form. Details about the Slate functionality associated with each of the available roles is below. Please consider the functionality that most closely matches the needs of your job duties to determine the appropriate role to request.
Note that each role is independent. The security granted by one role does not include the security granted by another. For example, if you want security for the items in Base and Base Plus, you must request both roles.
