SPA (Student Planning and Advising) Proxy Access

Provides the ability for SPA users to grant secure proxy access to non-SHU parties, allowing them to view SPA information. Users can designate one or more persons as a proxy and grant each proxy specific permission to view information, such as providing parents access to grades.

Proxy users will see students' legal names; therefore, if a chosen name is being used, it will not be visible to proxy users.
