All UC Berkeley employees have access to UCPath for self-service. If you need to gain access for processing business transactions, watch the short video on how UCPath access works before moving on to the lists below.
UCPath access is organized by security roles, which determine the pages you can see, and the actions you can take from those pages. There are different types of security roles, and you may need access to different types of roles depending on your job duties.
The UCPath Location Security Role Inventory displays the viewable pages based on each security role available within the UCPath System. Additionally, each tab displays screenshots to give clarity which fields are available on each of the pages connected to the role on the selected tab. This is available by clicking the box to the right, or through the UCPath Center Location Support Site (first link on the transactional user page).
You'll need different security roles depending on your job duties.
Note that there are some additional administrator roles that are not widely available.
The UCPath Operations team has compiled a list of recommended roles for some common jobs on campus. Note that while these recommendations will help you get started, the exact roles you will need may vary depending on your individual job duties.
If you don't know which Region you are in, use the Region Finder.
Review the list of security roles, and see whether training is required. Training requirements are the same across all Regions and departments.
Modules are listed in the menu on the left. Most modules begin with short online courses in the UC Learning Center and end with one longer, instructor-led course.
After completing training, request UCPath access through the Systems Access Request Application (SARA).
You can review the guide for more information on UCPath SARA requests. Please be aware that connection through the Global Protect VPN is required to access the SARA website.
If you have questions about security, contact UCBUCPath@berkeley.edu.
