Introduction

The below procedure outlines all required steps in order to request a new External SharePoint site. Each request will undergo a review and approval process prior to implementation. Timing is an important consideration for this process, especially when Establishing the Request because the Data Classification Form and the External Data Sharing Request Form must be reviewed by several teams including Data Governance and Legal. This review can take several weeks depending on the nature of the data or information being shared through your External SharePoint site. The Data Governance is available for any questions or guidance about this process or when completing any of the required forms. If you are having trouble, please reach out to them. This process may take up to three weeks once the forms are fully completed to receive all approvals and to build and implement the platform. The process may be expedited in rare and necessary situations.

title1. Outline Requirements


Expand
titlelearn more...

Outlining requirements is an extremely important first step in the process of establishing a new External SharePoint site. IT and Data Governance will rely largely on these requirements when building the site but will reach out to you if they have questions during implementation. To that end, the more detail you provide regarding how the site will be used and by whom, the easier the implementation will be.

  1. What will be the name of your new site?

    Warning

    While it is possible to change the names of sites and site components, it is not recommended. Be sure to think thoroughly through what the name of the site will be as changes, while possible, can have some negative downstream impacts to users who frequent your site.



UI Step

Be mindful of the following:

  • The Data Governance Office is available to help the Requestor complete the forms if necessary.
  • The Data Governance Office reviews all completed forms and will follow up with the Requestor if forms are not fully completed or more details are needed.
  • For External SharePoint sites, the Requestor, Data Owners, Data Stewards, or Site Manager is responsible for ensuring that the integrity, security requirements and access authorizations are managed properly.
  • Immediately remove stakeholders that no longer work at an organization or on the program.
  • If you are the owner of an approved External SharePoint site, any additional information, data, or authorized stakeholders that need to be added to the existing site must be approved by Data Governance. Contact Data Governance before adding any updates to the existing External SharePoint site.
  • The following types of data sharing do NOT need to go through the Sharing Data with External Stakeholders Request process:
    • Responses to FOIL requests that have been vetted through Counsel’s Office.
    • External and internal collaboration on NYSERDA Lean Projects.
    • Proposals to Scoring Committee Members for programs not in Salesforce.
    • Requests to the Web Development team.
    • NYSERDA Corporate reports to required stakeholders.
