Monthly License Change Requests
This resource is designed for eComm specialists who are responsible for submitting provisioning and deprovisioning requests for their campus. Learn how to submit requests while being mindful of important deadlines and details that affect the user experience.
No Exceptions Exceptions to the following process and timelines CANNOT be accommodated for any reason.
Checkboxes are not visible in Dashboard Lightning Table widget Checkbox Values are not displayed in the Lightning table widget in Dashboards since the Winter '25 release. While this is a known issue currently in review, there is no resolution timeframe. Until then, please use the workaround outlined below in the 'View License Details' section.
Provisioning Requests
eComm specialists submit provisioning requests throughout the month. The System team addresses these requests in a single batch during the first week of each month. New users MUST complete pre-access requirements before they will be provisioned, including:
- Relevant SkillSoft courses (confirmed via file uploads to the user's license record), and
- A signed user agreement (both the user and their supervisor must sign the agreement)
How to submit a provisioning request
Review Contact
Before submitting a request, it's important to confirm that you're provisioning the correct person based on their employment with CU. To do so, view the Contact record along with the Related tab.
- Does their university email populate in a university email field? For example, a CU Boulder employee should have a UCB Email populated.
- Do they have an employee ID?
- Do they have an active CU Employment record?*
*People of Interest (POI) POIs are a temporary type of university employee whose data displays in Salesforce differently compared to a typical employee. POIs will not have an Employment record in Salesforce, but it's important to confirm 1) that an Employee ID is populated, and 2) that their university email displayed in the respective university email field in Salesforce. The eComm specialist or POI may need to work with their campus OIT team to get their email address populated in Salesforce. Inactive POIs or those missing a university email in Salesforce CANNOT be provisioned.

New User Experience
Four Steps to Get Started with eComm for New Users
STEPS 1 & 2 | Discovery & Pre-Access Requirements
- eComm specialists should submit a provisioning request after meeting with a potential user for discovery, an important step to ensure eComm is the right fit. Pre-access requirements must be completed by the last business day of the month in order for provisioning to occur during the first week of the following month.
STEP 3 | Login Details, Training & Quiz
- The System team will notify new users when their credentials are ready (around the 5th of the month) with the eComm specialist CC-d. New users will also receive relevant training courses and a short post-training quiz, to be completed within the first month.
- Once new users complete the post-training quiz, they will be granted access to send Marketing Cloud emails and/or have Cvent events approved. They will be notified via email (with their specialist CC-d) and provided with continued training resources.
Users who do not complete the post-training quiz will be reminded to do so. If the quiz is not completed after 60 days of obtaining access, they will be deprovisioned.
Deprovisioning Requests
Don't have access? eComm specialists must review this following wiki and pass the quiz for access.
Submit Deprovisioning Requests
- Change the dropdown option to Deprovision
- Verify the tools in which the user is currently licensed so you know what to remove.
- Check the applications to remove and select Next
View Pending Deprovisioning Requests
- Scroll to the 3rd row on the license dashboard to view deprovisioning requests that will be addressed during the first week of the following month.
Cvent Only Licenses
Chatter Free Users
Many users have a license in Cvent ONLY - and thus only pay for Cvent. If you are looking at a user's license record and notice both Salesforce and Cvent are checked, also look under the 'Permissions' section to see if the 'Salesforce Profile' is 'Chatter Free User'. This means they are not paying for Salesforce access and instead have a 'Chatter Free User' in Salesforce which is free. This grants them access to the Collaborative Community in Salesforce devoted to Cvent. See the example below.
If a user wishes to see Dashboards in Salesforce (or anything more than participate in the Collaborative Community), they require a full Salesforce license.
