Citrix Access

You can submit a service request in Deltek Support Center to gain access to Citrix.

Access details for Citrix are obtained by submitting a Grant Implementer Access Permissions service request in the Deltek Support Center. This request should be submitted for the SaaS Administrator and any other users who will need access to one of the Development Tools listed below. When choosing options within the request, be sure to select Extension/Report (Technical) Consultant.

Note: Citrix access expires after 12 months. SaaS Administrators can re-establish access by again raising the "Grant Implementer Access Permissions" Service Request.
