Key Contacts
Communications:
It is the Key Contacts responsibility to ensure that the UFS and Finance communications are forwarded to/received by appropriate UFS users within their department. Email groups can be set up by the department to receive and distribute the emails. We suggest departments set up an email group to receive and distribute the UFS communications.
Note: UFS access or changes to Key Contacts accounts should be requested by another Key Contact. If there is no other Key Contact then the request should be copied to the Head of Department for approval.
A Key Contact is nominated by the Head of Department to serve as the liaison between the Financial Systems Group (FSG) and their Department. The Key Contact is responsible for the UFS user accounts within the department and must notify UFS_Users@admin.cam.ac.uk as soon as possible when staff with UFS access retire, have an extended period of leave or no longer use the system due to change of job role. This is essential to maintain system security.
The Users and Responsibilities Report (UFS) is available to Key Contacts to help reveiw UFS Access. Click here to request a report, please remember to include the department.
