Plugin Request Process

If you would like to request the enablement of a plugin in the Illinois ChatGPT Workspace, please have your local IT support submit a ticket to the Technology Services IT Service Desk at help.uillinois.edu, or by emailing consult@illinois.edu. This request should provide as much information about the requested plugin as possible.  This information could include: intended use case description, existing plugins investigated, requested plugin vendor documentation, requested permission scopes, and any assessments already completed. 

NOTE: Plugin requests with other University of Illinois Urbana Champaign approved software platforms are strongly preferred.

Plugin requestors must successfully complete the following to be approved on the Illinois ChatGPT workspace.

1. Need: requested applications must fulfill a need that isn't already performed by another approved application, integration or feature.  OR the requested plugin must provide the same or better functionality more efficiently or at a cheaper cost.
2. Support: all requested plugins must have clearly defined support responsibilities.  Technology Services may fulfill this support role or declare approved integration/features to be self-supported.  Some approved integrations or features may be supported by other college or department IT groups. If it is determined that a requested applications, integration or feature will put undue stress or burden on the Help Desks, college/dept IT staff or service teams, the request will be denied.
3. Vendor Risk Assessment: Requested plugins must complete a Technology Services Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) Vendor Risk Assessment.  Units requesting 3rd party plugins from currently unsupported, unapproved vendors, will be required to complete this step on their own and assume all risk for its use.
4. Privacy Impact Assessment: In addition to the Vendor Risk Assessment described above requested integrations will be required to complete a Privacy Impact Questionaire.  Units requesting 3rd party plugins from currently unsupported, unapproved vendors, will be required to complete this step on their own and assume all risk for its use.
5. Accessibility: all requests will need to complete a thorough accessibility review.  Approved requests will have no identified "showstoppers."  Units requesting 3rd party plugins from currently unsupported, unapproved vendors, will be required to complete this step on their own and assume all risk for its use.
6. NewSoft: Integration requests may go through an expedited version of the Tech Services NewSoft process to ensure all internal stakeholders are aware.
7. Purchasing: Any costs associated with licensing or support as well as vendor EULA or TOS will be reviewed.  It may be determine that an integration or application may only be available to restricted groups and/or use cases.  Any acceptable use policies will be documented.
