Understanding NUcore User and Account Management System
NUcore is a transaction processing system for core facilities at Northwestern University, comprising key components like Products, Payment Sources, and People roles. The system involves managing user accounts, payment sources, and different system roles such as Global Admins, Core Staff, and Purchasers/Users. The roles include responsibilities like managing core activities, creating user accounts, handling payment sources, and running reports on payment source activity. Additionally, there are original department roles like Business Administrator and new department roles like Account Manager to streamline account management processes.
