Internet Native Banner (INB) is a set of administrative pages that allow users to query or maintain data in the Banner Oracle database.  Special training and permissions are required to use INB and the system is monitored to ensure data security.  Access to INB is limited to employees with a demonstrated need through job requirements.  Request access through the online process in PAWS, Employee tab.
