Each request will be checked to verify that all conditions for SKIES access have been satisfied. Upon approval of the request, the user will be added, deleted or modified in SKIES as requested, and the Authorized Approver and user will receive notification of the action taken. SKIES Access Approvers must notify the South Central Workforce Council’s Security Administrator immediately of any users they wish to delete.
