Roles and Permissions

​​​Requesting Access

Before you can be given access to edit your college or department's website, you will first need the permission of your site owner and you will need to attend a SharePoint training workshop.  Please ask your site owner to email a request to sptraining@depaul.edu  They should include the name, username, and role (editor, approver, SmartForm viewer ​and/or SmartForms editor) of each individual to be added to the site.  Once we have received your site owner's request, you will be sent an invitation to register for training to your DePaul email address.  Access to your site will be granted upon completion of training.
