Applying for Temporary Concur Access as an Affiliate

This job aid details the steps on how Affiliates can apply for temporary Concur access. Affiliates can submit a Financial Systems Security Application (FSSA) to obtain Concur access for a maximum period of one year. Affiliates must submit a new FSSA to renew their Concur access after access period has expired. 

Affiliates must already be setup with an outside party Vendor profile in order to obtain temporary access to Concur. Refer to the Vendor Management page on the Finance website.
