How to Establish BARC Access for a New Employee
Access to BARC is not granted by the BARC Office. Your Department Security Administrator (DSA) grants access.
Users of BARC must complete UC Santa Barbara FERPA Training
Once you have been granted access to BARC, the URL is https://barc.ets.ucsb.edu.
Step 1: Identifying Security Groups for accessing the new BARC system
The Department Business Officer/Manager must determine the appropriate Security Group to be assigned in the campus ALLN02 (Gateway System) for each staff member who will need to access the system.
The ALLN02 Security Groups, listed below, are mapped to the corresponding BARC functions.
