Business Assets
Identify valuable data assets, ensure broad access to data, identify the data life cycle, and define data and access processes.
Data Stewards oversee the capture, maintenance, storage, use, and dissemination of University Data and Information for a particular function or operation; they may be considered System Owners for stores and systems they purchase, operate, or contract with a third party/service provider to operate and/or host (University Policy UNIV 1.51).
Check the official Data Steward Roster to find your organizational unit's data steward who oversees the data usage in your area.
Data Trustees and Data Stewards should log in to the Data Steward Admin Page to make changes to the Data Steward Roster.
Data Stewards have roles and responsibilities in these three key areas:
Identify valuable data assets, ensure broad access to data, identify the data life cycle, and define data and access processes.
Populate the data dictionary for critical data elements, determine data element classification, and ensure data quality and integrity.
Apply security and privacy standards to operational area data, approve access and permissions for data elements, approve requests for data made through data sharing agreements, and oversee/approve permissions for data transmission.
