Abstract
The Customer User Provisioning System (CUPS) is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that provisions mainframe accounts. It is used for requesting and monitoring user access to the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC) computer resources.

CUPS is available 24/7, allowing field facility CUPS Points of Contact (POC) to register employees by entering Infrastructure and Operations (IO) System Access Request (e9957), at any time. CUPS processes requests immediately, registering employees for access to specific computer systems and data in real time, seven days a week. CUPS System Managers of Record (SMR), and SMR designees, use CUPS to monitor registration activity. The business owner of CUPS is the VA Data Center Operations (DCO), AITC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CUPS should not have been a System of Record
since it does not store personal information that is retrieved by any
personal identifier within CUPS. The system has been decommissioned as
of 11/30/2022 and there is no data remaining in the system. CUPS is a
tool that creates virtual accounts. The accounts are created by data
automatically retrieved from the Active Directory (i.e., first/last
name, email, mail routing number) and Functional Task Code data
manually taken from Form 9957 submissions. The information gathered is
then passed to the mainframe system to electronically validate as a new
or existing account. CUPS do not serve as a repository for records, it
simply passes existing data from one system to another.
