How does one assign Software Depot purchase approvers?
Only a Departmental Security Administrator (DSA) may assign Software Depot purchase approvers to the budget numbers that belong to your department. If you’re not sure who your DSA is, ask your MSO or Business Officer. The assignment process is essentially the same as that used to authorize purchases through the UCSB Purchasing department, by which a DSA uses the ALLN01 system to assign one or more purchase approvers to a budget number. The security group SWDEP-AP should be used to assign Software Depot purchase approvers. As with all ALLN01 usage, the DSA must add any purchase approvers to this security group, and they must ensure that the proper persons are associated with the appropriate accounts, funds, and subs. For assistance using ALLN01, contact Terry Malosh at IS&C [terry.malosh@isc.ucsb.edu].
