Create and Update Banner Access Software for IT and Registrar Teams
Kissflow checks every Banner module access request for a segregation-of-duties conflict before it's approved, routes it to the module owner, keeps a register of who has access to which module and role, and recertifies standing access on a schedule, so the audit report is ready before an auditor asks for it.
Trusted by leading universities worldwide
Module access that's checked for conflicts before it's granted, not after an audit finds one
The access a Banner account still has three years after the person who needed it left is an audit finding waiting to be found. Requests get approved without checking whether the combination of modules being granted would let one person both create and approve the same transaction.
A staff member changes departments, and their old Banner module access follows them by default, because nothing prompted a review. Standing access gets granted once and reviewed only when an audit specifically asks for it, and when that request comes, pulling together who has access to what takes weeks instead of minutes.
Kissflow captures a module-level access request, checks it for a segregation-of-duties conflict before approval, routes it to the module owner and, where a conflict is flagged, to a second approver, keeps a register of every grant by role, and recertifies standing access on a recurring cycle. Banner remains the system that actually holds the access; Kissflow governs the request, SoD check, approval, and periodic recertification around who gets it.
What Banner access looks like without segregation-of-duties checks
Requests get approved without checking for conflicts
An access request gets granted without checking whether it lets one person create and approve the same transaction.
Access outlives the role that justified it
A staff member changes departments, and their old Banner module access follows them by default.
Recertification doesn't happen on its own
Standing access gets granted once and reviewed only when an audit specifically asks for it.
Audit prep means pulling access data from scratch
When an auditor asks who has access to what, the answer takes weeks to assemble instead of minutes.
Six modules. Built for how Banner access actually needs to be governed.
Every module ships with default forms, SoD logic, integrations, and dashboards. Configure each one to your module structure in the visual builder.
Module-level access request
Specifies exactly which Banner module and function, registration, financial aid, student accounts, access is requested for.
Segregation-of-duties check
Flags a requested combination of access that would let one person both create and approve the same transaction.
Approval routing
Routes to the module owner and, where a segregation-of-duties conflict is flagged, to a second approver.
Module access register
Keeps a running record of who has access to which Banner module, by role.
Scheduled recertification
Reviews standing Banner access on a recurring cycle, not granted once and forgotten.
Access and SoD reporting
Produces the report an auditor asks for, ready before they ask for it.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
A specific Banner module and function is requested, with the role and justification attached.
Review
The request is checked against existing access for a segregation-of-duties conflict before approval.
Approve
The module owner approves, with a second approver required if a conflict was flagged.
Record
Access is logged in the register and scheduled for review on the next recertification cycle, so the audit report is ready before an auditor asks.
What changes when Banner access runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Access request | Requested informally, without a documented business justification | Captured with the specific module, function, and justification |
| SoD check | Not checked unless an auditor specifically flags it | Checked automatically before every grant |
| Approval | A single approver, regardless of conflict risk | A second approver required when a conflict is flagged |
| Access register | Scattered across Banner admin records | A single register of who has access and to what |
| Recertification | Happens only when an audit specifically requests it | Runs on a recurring schedule |
| Audit reporting | Assembled from scratch over weeks | Ready on demand from the access register |
Connects to Banner; the access itself is enforced there
Kissflow does not replace Banner as the system that actually holds the access. It governs the request, segregation-of-duties check, approval, and periodic recertification around who gets it.

Built for how a Banner access audit actually goes
Conflicts caught before the grant, not the audit
A segregation-of-duties conflict is flagged at request time, not discovered during an external review.
Recertification that runs on its own
Standing access is reviewed on a recurring cycle instead of sitting unreviewed until someone asks.
An ERP-adjacent access governance layer
Banner remains the system that enforces the access. Kissflow governs the request, SoD check, and recertification behind it.
Live before your next access audit
IT and security staff configure module definitions, SoD rules, and recertification schedules in the visual builder.
An audit report ready on demand
Who has access to what, and why, is available immediately instead of assembled over weeks.
A second approver where risk warrants it
Higher-risk access combinations automatically require a second sign-off, not just the module owner's.

Get SupportFaculty Access Entitlements in IAM is the umbrella governance layer covering every system a faculty or staff member might need. This app is the Banner-specific implementation, built specifically around module-level segregation-of-duties risk.
This governs module-level ERP access, registration, financial aid, student accounts, with segregation-of-duties checks. Canvas access management governs course-level LMS access scheduled to term dates, a lower-risk, higher-volume pattern.
Any combination of module access, configured by your institution, that would let one person both create and approve the same type of transaction, such as awarding and disbursing financial aid.
No. Banner remains the system that actually enforces the access. This app governs the request, SoD check, approval, and recertification that decide what gets granted there.
Yes. Module definitions, SoD rules, and recertification schedules are configured in the visual builder, and the AI Builder can generate a starting workflow from a plain-language description of your access policy.
Through APIs and integration connectors, under single sign-on and role-based access, with every request, approval, and recertification written to an audit log.
Configuration and AI-assisted setup move rollout to weeks, without a Banner implementation project.
Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, supports HECVAT review for procurement, and is built to support FERPA and GLBA Safeguards obligations, with data residency options in the US, EU, APAC, and Oceania.
