A person other than the student may have the ability to make a payment, view account activity and view student statement as a Third-Party User. Students may follow these steps to create a Third-Party user in Workday.

  1. Login to Workday
  2. Select Profile Icon (upper right corner)
  3. Select View Profile
  4. Select Contacts
  5. Select Friends and Family and Click Add
  6. Complete required fields and check box for Third Party User
  7. After enter information, click Done and return to Contacts screen
  8. Scroll over to Actions and click Manage Permissions
  9. Grant individual permissions-check the tasks granting permission
  10. The parent/third party receives login instructions at the email provided by the student

Once a Third-Party User account is created, students can remove access at any time and resend payer invitations. No University of Akron staff can make changes to the Third-Party User account or reset their password.
