After Access Has Been Granted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Staff\/Employee Accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

UW-Milwaukee PAWS Administrative security has been added to your PAWS account<\/a>. You will sign on with your 51ÁÔÆæ ePanther ID and password \u2013 the same that is used with Office 365, 51ÁÔÆæWiFi, etc. Please note, if you were ever a student at UW-Milwaukee, you will see the Student Center. Please use the menus to navigate to the administrative pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note:<\/strong> There are several Knowledge Base<\/a> documents that may be helpful when performing administrative functions within PAWS. If you\u2019ve recently received additional access, you will need to log out and back in to see the changes in access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Employee Accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A separate user profile with PAWS administrative access has been created for your use in PAWS<\/a>. Instead of using your ePanther ID and password to sign onto PAWS to perform administrative work, you will need to add an \u2018_2\u2019 to your ePanther ID. For example, if your 51ÁÔÆæ email address is ritapaws@uwm.edu, your administrative access PAWS login will be ritapaws_2. When logging in with your _2 account, please make sure to click the \u2018Log In To Designate Access\u2019 button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will notice no self-service Student Center attached to the _2 profile once signed on. Self-service student access to your PAWS records continue to be available from anywhere using your ePanther ID (without the _2) and Password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may need\u00a0to clear your cache<\/a>, as well as use a different browser than one you log on to your student account with<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note:<\/strong> There are several Knowledge Base<\/a> documents that may be helpful when performing administrative functions within PAWS. If you\u2019ve recently received additional access, you will need to log out and back in to see the changes in access.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
