Access, Authorization, General

Why am I getting this email notification?

Depending on your association with an eGC1 application, Advance Budget request, Award Setup Request, or Modification Request as it is approved, and possibly awarded, you may receive a number of different email notifications.

Email notifications are sent from various parts of the SAGE Suite:

I’m new to using SAGE. How do I get started?

Welcome!  Here are some links to help you learn about SAGE.

  • The Welcome to SAGE page will give you an overview and point you to lots of resources.

How can non-UW employees access and use SAGE?

All SAGE users must have a UW NetID and a UW email account. UW departments/divisions may obtain sponsored UW NetIDs for people who do not have them, such as new hires.

UW departments will also need to authorize access by assigning the appropriate SAGE roles in ASTRA.

Note: Email notifications generated by the SAGE approvals process are generally sent to a user’s UW netid@uw.edu email address. This email can be forwarded to another account for your convenience.

How do I get authorization to use SAGE, and how long will it take?

To access SAGE, you must have an ASTRA (Access to Systems, Tools, Resources, and Applications) authorization. ASTRA provides Web-based management of authority for UW administrative applications.

Ask your local ASTRA administrator to authorize the appropriate SAGE ASTRA Roles for you. If you try to log in to SAGE without an authorized role, SAGE will display a link to ASTRA so you can check your current roles.

ASTRA authorizations generally take effect within 30 minutes. If you are already logged into SAGE, log out and then log back in again to pick up your new authorizations.
