Security Roles
Segregation of duties clearly defines the steps an agency takes to ensure accountability among employees at all levels.
AASIS security roles help support this accountability by:
- Restricting a user’s access to transactions that clearly “conflict” in business function
- Preventing people from performing multiple business functions (transactions) that could represent a risk of theft to an agency
- Protecting access to sensitive information
A person can have several role assignments as long as these assignments are not in conflict, and the internal control measures remain intact.
PBAS security issues should be addressed with Department of Finance & Administration – Office of Budget (DFA-OB).
AASIS Password Reminders

The initial password given by the Help Desk will allow you temporary access to the system, where you will be prompted to change your password to one known only by you. After conducting your initial login, you can reset your password using the password reset application on the EASE login page, which can be accessed by clicking the ‘Forgot Password?’ button.
- No multiple logons to Production from the SAPGUI will be allowed with the same user id.
