E-RAS 

E-RAS, the Electronic Record of Authorized Signatures, is Stony Brook’s online system that officially authorizes listed people to commit and spend on an account.  It is required that the University review and update the list of authorized signatures for every SBU account annually. For more information and FAQS, see: www.stonybrook.edu/eras/

E-RAS Account Director

An Account Director has primary authority to commit and spend account funds within E-RAS. Only the Account Director can delegate authority to Account Assistants and Signatory Delegates.

E-RAS Signatory Delegate

A Signatory Delegate is an individual appointed by the Account Director, or Account Assistant, and has the authority to commit or spend account funds on behalf of the Account Director. Signatory Delegates can be granted full or limited authority over account funds.

In E-RAS, the Signatory Delegate role will not grant access to see any account information. Only Account Directors and/or Account Assistants will be able to log-in to view account information.
