By submitting a Enterprise Access Request (EAR), formerly BAR, IT and HR can enable the EPAF access for a proxy but an approver must complete the proxy setup. EPAF Quick Guide Setting Up and Acting as a Proxy helps you with the proxy setup process. Please email any further questions or concerns along with the screenshot of your issue to epaf@isu.edu.
