Overview
This service is used to request adding (regular or temporary) or removing a spending authority on an existing account(s) or adding a pre-approver to Chrome River.
When a current spending authority is absent for any reason, including vacation, an acting spending authority must be designated. Use the "Add Spending Authority Request (Regular/Temporary)" service offering to add a temporary spending authority.
IMPORTANT (Additions and Temporary Appointments): A wet signature, meaning the signature and printed name of the person who is being added, on a physical piece of paper in blue or black ink, is required when requesting an addition of a spending authority and must be attached to the form.
Note: An approval from the authorizing spending authority is required before this request will be fulfilled. Temporary spending authorities do not impact Chrome River.
