ESHARP Overview
ESHARP is a Web-based tool developed by ITS to replace the paper form for requesting access to UVa systems.
How It Works
An employee, supervisor, or data access approver can initiate a request for Integrated System (HR/Finance) or SIS access via ESHARP. Once specific system responsibilities are selected, a workflow passes the request to different levels of approval. When the workflow is completed with all levels approved, the responsibility is provisioned and access is granted. Each IS (HR/Finance) and SIS responsibility has a distinct workflow, but common steps usually include:
- Supervisor approval
- Data Access Approver review and approval (each organization has an approver)
- Data Steward or Deputy Data Steward review and approval
- Quality Assurance (verification that no conflicts exist between current responsibilities and requested responsibilities, and that training has been completed, if applicable)
- Employee Acknowledgement electronic signature to confirm awareness and acceptance that the responsibility has been requested
- Responsibility provisioned
Note: ESHARP is a communication and approval workflow tool and does not create or remove responsibility in the actual application.
Steps for Getting Access via ESHARP

Tips on Using ESHARP
- If you expect a workflow email notification, or are informed that one is pending, and it is not in your inbox, please check junk mail.
- Multiple Orgs, due to multiple assignments, defaults to leftmost ORG value. Check to be sure this is the one you want.
- Multiple Supervisors, due to multiple assignments, defaults to leftmost Supervisor value. Check to be sure this is the one you want.
- Allow 24-48 hours after basic profile data is set up in Integrated System HR/Finance and/or Private LDAP before trying to access ESHARP or create a request in ESHARP.
- If the data access approver is not correct for an ORG, send email to security-dso. Be sure to include Org number and description and name/computing id of current data access approver. If possible, include the name/computing id of who should be assigned.
- When reporting an error, please include:
- What activity were you doing – what screens, what data were entered
- The name/computing id of the employee, the responsibility, any other significant data about the request you were trying to process
- The role you were serving for the activity, e.g., supervisor, employee, data access approver, etc.
- When (date and time) the error occurred
- The sequence of events in ESHARP leading up to the error
