Request Access to Reports, Analytics, and Data

You need permission to access reports and visualizations on the BI Portal, UW Profiles, or to directly query the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW).

Our unit manages data permissions using two UW standards: roles and ASTRA. Roles were designed and sanctioned by the Data Management Committee (DMC) on behalf of the UW’s Data Custodians and implemented by the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW). ASTRA is an access management service managed by the Identity and Access Management (IAM) group in UW-IT.

Follow these steps to request a data access role for the first time or update your existing role.

Staff and Faculty Access Request:

If you are requesting access for the first time or need help choosing the right role for you, then choose this guided request form:

Reports, Analytics, and Data Access Request – Guided

If you know the role you need, want your access to look like another employee, or are requesting an access role you previously held, then choose this advanced request form:

Reports, Analytics, and Data Access Request – Advanced

Automated Software Access Process:

Requests for system or application direct access to the EDW requires that the system owner obtain a UW Application NetID Account, as documented in DMC Guideline 1017.

For further instructions and to submit a System of Application Access Request, go to:
