Sentinel makes PeopleSoft simple. You can manage user security, review access, and submit security requests from one easy-to-use platform.
Gain visibility into user access with on-demand information and tools that can be used by security administrators, managers, data owners, and functional users.
Let's get started by reviewing Sentinel's core modules:
There are two types of accounts in Sentinel: Admins and Non-admins.
Admins have access to all PeopleSoft Environments and Sentinel Modules & Submenus.
Non-admin users gain access to an Environment through an assigned Security Profile. Security Profiles determine access for Sentinel Modules & Submenus.
Sentinel can simultaneously support multiple PeopleSoft pillars (HR, FS, CS) and PeopleTools versions. Each environment provides access to the following:
User Accounts
Roles
Permission Lists
Security, Audit, and Compare Reports

The client is solely responsible for creating and maintaining their account credentials.
Sentinel includes a consolidated list of users from all PeopleSoft environments, known as the User Hub. It provides the following benefits:
