Petitioning for Access
1. Visit
eRules at adminrules.utah.gov and select
UtahID Sign In on the top right.
2. Log in using your UtahID credentials.
Note: you may already be logged in. If you are not asked to enter your username/email or password, please ensure that you are logged in under the correct account. This is especially important on shared computers or devices.
3. On the eRules home page, select your name on the top right, then Petition Access.
Note: To avoid potentially having to complete this process again, ensure the Save Consent checkbox is checked. This is not recommended on shared computers or devices.
4. A pop-up will appear, requiring a confirmation that you have also submitted an agency access form. Ensure that is submitted, then check the confirmation box and select Petition for Access. 
5. A window confirming your submission should appear. Close this window.
This process ties your UtahID to eRules. Ensure that both this and the Agency Access Form are completed. Once a Petition for Access and an Agency Access Form are submitted for a user, the Office of Administrative Rules will review and either approve the request or follow up with the user via email for more information.
