People Tab Overview

The People tab enables you to view and locate faculty and staff accounts within UC OATS. On the People tab you can quickly navigate to the faculty details page, department page, log into a faculty member's account, update a staff member's roles, and delete a staff member's account. 

The following is an overview of the People tab:

1. Search filters - You can use search features to locate faculty and staff in UC OATS.
   • Search -  Search for faculty and staff by first and/or last name.
   • Filter by role - You can filter by assigned system roles. 
   • Filter by Department - You can filter by specific departments/units.
2. Dept / Division - When you select the department you will be taken to that specific department within your campus hierarchy. From there you can view unit details, list of faculty and staff associated with the department, department thresholds, summer terms, and current prior approval requests that have been submitted by faculty within that department. To learn more visit Departments Tab Overview. 
3. Actions -  There are a variety of actions that can be taken based on the user's role.
   • Become - You can log in as a user by clicking on the "Become" button. This will enable you to log into the user's account. UC OATS tracks each time the "Become" button is selected and makes it available in the Report Became User report. WARNING: any action you take after logging in as a user will not be associated with your user account, but instead to the target user's account (this function is a true log in as that user).
