COMING SOON myUK Employee Public Preview
Overview
The new myUK portal - Employee Public Preview is coming soon for UK employees with active linkblue accounts. Access within the portal is restricted by role.
The Employee Public Preview is focused on providing services and applications available in the current employee portal (Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service) and myUK mobile for employees. It does not include Enterprise Services, SRM, Payment Request, etc., or student-related items.
Both preview.myuk.uky.edu (the new portal) and myuk.uky.edu (the current portal) can be used interchangeably as they share the same backend data. Any updates made in one portal will be reflected in the other. The current portal will remain in production throughout the public preview phase of the new portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What website URL should I be using?
preview.myuk.uky.edu (the new portal - public preview) is pointed production. What does that mean?
preview.myuk.uky.edu is referencing actual employee data and should be used just like you currently use Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service in myuk.uky.edu. When you make changes in preview.myuk.uky.edu, it changes actual employee data in SAP. You should use preview.myuk.uky.edu in place of myuk.uky.edu during the Employee Public Preview. If a feature isn't available in preview.myuk.uky.edu, the current myuk.uky.edu portal will remain available throughout the public preview.
What should I be using the new myUK portal for?
Use preview.myuk.uky.edu in the same way you are using Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service in myuk.uky.edu today.
What items are not currently included in the new myUK portal?
- Profile: Employee bank information
- Profile: Employee cell phone/personal email address

What if there is a feature that isn’t available in preview.myuk.uky.edu that I use in myuk.uky.edu?
Use preview.myuk.uky.edu as much as possible, but if a feature isn’t available in preview, then you can use myuk.uky.edu (current portal). You will continue to have access to myuk.uky.edu throughout the public preview. preview.myuk.uky.edu and myuk.uky.edu are pointing to the same employee data in SAP.
How should I navigate the new myUK portal?
- Customization: The new portal allows you to customize your most-used items on the Employee dashboard under Pinned Items. You can update these by selecting “Manage” on the Pinned Items line.
