Siteimprove is the automated accessibility and quality assurance scanning platform used across LSA web properties. Use this article when you need a new website added to Siteimprove scanning, or when someone on your team needs access to Siteimprove reports.
Who can submit a request
Any LSA faculty or staff member responsible for a website or unit web presence. You do not need to be a Siteimprove user already to request access.

Confirm the Requestor Details section, and add a preferred email if it is different from your UMICH address.
-
Under Type of Request, select the option that matches what you need:
-
Enter a short Title, such as "Add three editors to Classics site" or "Add lsa.example.umich.edu to Siteimprove."
-
In URL or System, enter the site URL. For user additions, enter the site the user needs access to.
-
Set Urgency / Timeline based on your need. Note any deadline, such as a launch date or an audit due date.
-
In Description, summarize the request and list the users or sites. If you are submitting more than a few, use a CSV instead (see below).
-
Use Attachment to upload your CSV file, if applicable.
-
Submit the form.
Submitting multiple users or sites by CSV
For requests covering more than about five users or sites, attach a CSV rather than typing everything into the Description field. Use these column headers.

What happens next
The web accessibility team reviews the request and provisions access or configures the crawl. Most requests are completed within five business days. Newly added sites take up to a few days to complete their first full crawl, so reports will populate gradually rather than appearing immediately.
You will receive updates through the TeamDynamix ticket. Reply to the ticket email to add information or ask questions.
