OAM Access Requests (OAR) are a replacement to the Role-Based Access Requests (RBAR) system found in Banweb, and can be made in the Odin Account Manager at oam.pdx.edu.
PSU employees can place requests for access to certain PSU websites and systems (such as Banner, DataMASTER, OnBase, Destiny, and others). Depending on your level of access, you can approve access requests and manage OAR proxies as well.
