Accessing System Administration Functions

The Kuali Financial System 4.0 enables users with proper authorization to perform powerful functions that affect the entire system. These functions, which are accessible via the Administration menu tab, allow you to:

• Support the Kuali Identity Management (KIM) module and implement security based on accounting line attributes

• Define basic types of location and reference information

• Control the running of batch jobs

• Support the Kuali Enterprise Workflow (KEW) module and

• Enable authorized users to perform a variety of other functional and technical activities.

pencil-small Only members of KFS-SYS Manager and KR-SYS Technical Administrator roles may initiate most documents in the Administration Menu. Other users may look up values from the lookup screens but may not be able to access other options at all.

The items listed on the Administration menu tab are organized into four submenus.
