Chef is the friendly interface to the RRU Resource Management system (Unit 4) and Chef which is role based, follows the lead of Unit 4. If you were a CAMP Admin, you will notice some differences in how Chef behaves vs. how CAMP behaved. |
A resource is a person who works in any capacity at RRU.
First, The first step in entering a new resource is to choose the type of resource from the list of types offered by used in Unit 4, the resource management system.:
Only hiring managers or delegates can create employee resource records and submit them for approval from HR. Records are released for computer account creation once HR approves. Only HR can terminate a computer account/employment for employees.
Hiring managers, delegates, and ‘delegates for contractors’ can create and submit contractor resource records. No approval is required. Records go immediately for computer account creation. This same group can terminate a computer account/employment for contractors.

Follow the prompts as you enter information in the form.
Here’s important information about some of the fields:
...
-1- the Primary Groups field is a drop down list that is the same as the list we used in CAMP. Eventually, this will change so that we’re using the information from Unit 4 but that’s too big of a change to make right now.
-2- / -3- The Campus Location and Office Building fields, and others you may encounter, are drop down lists from which you can choose a predetermined value. Managing information this way ensures consistency in data collection and in reports.
-4- The Contract start date is the date the new person will start work.
-5- Indicate where computer account related notices should go. Many departments use a shared email box for this so that more than one person can respond to notices.
