To use SAPweb, you need to have a Kerberos userid. This is (usually) the same as your Eudora email account. However, some MIT departments, labs and centers have email systems that do not use the Kerberos protocol. If you work in one of these areas, you may need to get a Kerberos userid to access SAP. All MIT staff are eligible to receive Kerberos userids. You get a Kerberos userid by contacting Athena User Accounts: Office: N42 1st Floor

To begin to use SAPweb, you must have authorization to perform SAP-based financial and/or administrative transactions.

If you do not know who the primary authorizor is, look it up on the Primary Authorizor page.
