ASTRA is an access management service that stores authorization information about who can use a variety of UW administrative applications and other resources.
Applications that use ASTRA for access management include:
- Research applications: SAGE, GCCR
- Student applications: DeptTools, EARS
- Payroll applications: OPUS, OWLS, Early Email, UW Timesheet
- Financial applications: MyFD, eProcurement, eTravel, eFECS, TeamBudget, ProCard
- Business Web Services: SWS, PWS, FWS, HRPWS, IdCardWS
- Workflows: Tuition Change, Supplier Registration
- Enterprise Data Warehouse, SMAT
Authorizations in ASTRA define limits on:
- Application roles (analyst, payroll coordinator, approver, etc.)
- Application actions (update, inquiry, etc.)
- Application limit restrictions (budgets, organization codes, dollar limits, PUC, FacNum, etc.)
People log in to the ASTRA Web interface to:
- Delegate their authority to others to manage authorizations
- Authorize others to use applications by creating authorizations
- Review, update, and delete authorizations for audit compliance
- Search for people with authority to delegate or authorize access
Applications integrate with ASTRA by a three-step process:
- Defining a schema in ASTRA for roles, actions, and limits
- Enabling Delegators and Authorizers to manage authorizations in ASTRA
- Consuming ASTRA authorization data to enforce access control policies
