Get to know Chef

...

Employee and Contractor types

  1. Chef sends information to the computer account creation process and on the next run, a computer account is created for the new person. This includes an RRU email address.

    1. The hiring manager receives a notice when the computer account is ready so that they can:

      • communicate this to the new person at the right time, providing them with their username, email address, and temporary password

      • visit the provisioning page in Our People to ask for things the new person needs, like access to shared mailboxes, O: drive folders, elevated permissions in corporate software, etc.

The computer account creation process runs 3 times each weekday. A computer account can be created soon after a record is entered into chef, or 16 hours later, depending on timing.

Cecilia: find out who receives the notice directly vs. through the hiring manager and update point a as necessary.

Notifications from Chef

The two primary uses of Chef are:

  1. To facilitate the creation of computer accounts for staff, contractors, etc. (not students)

  2. To provide a user friendly interface to the RRU Resource Management system (Unit 4) so that staff, contractors, etc. can easily update their own personal information.

The email notifications sent by Chef are:

  • When a hiring manager or delegate submits a new resource record, HR receives an email notification that something is waiting for their review.

  • When HR approves, the hiring manager receives an email notification that the next step will be taken, which is a computer account will be created.

  • When HR declines a submission, the hiring manager receives an email notification.

The end

Other notifications

(that might feel like they are from Chef but they are not)

As outlined in the workflow section of this user guide, computer accounts are created using the existing computer account creation process. There will be notices resulting from this. These will come from the computer account creation process, not Chef.

Chef role definitions

Each person who uses chef is assigned a role. Some roles are decided based on your position at RRU, as defined in the resource management system. Others are assigned based on operational need. All roles determine what you can do/access inside the system. One person can have more than one role.
