Accessing SAGE Approvals

To access SAGE, you need an ASTRA role. Someone who creates items in SAGE (eGC1s, Budgets, Advance Budget Requests) usually has a Proposal Preparer or Principal Investigator role. Campus approvers will typically have one of the reviewer roles: Division Reviewer, Department or Center Reviewer, Dean Reviewer, or Advance Reviewer. Compliance reviewers have distinct ASTRA roles.

Campus approvers access items based on a combination of their role and the associated Cost Center. So a Dean Reviewer for the School of Medicine would be able to access only those eGC1s that include that unit and role combination on the approval flow. An Advance Reviewer would have access to Advance Budget Requests for their unit and role.

To access the item you need to approve:

  • In general
  • For eGC1s
    • Select the link in the email notification, which after signing in, will display the eGC1 approval flow.
  • For Advance Budget Requests
    • Select the link in the email notification, which after signing in, will display the My Approvals page.
