Changes to Student Resource Access Control
In the past when Faculty or Staff requested student access to research servers, TSO has typically assigned a one-semester or one-year expiration for that access by default. When that access expires, it causes a certain amount of disruption for the students in having their access renewed. Based on our discussions with researchers and the TSO Faculty Advisory Board, it appears that it would be more frequently correct to grant privileges until the student graduates or changes degree programs, unless otherwise requested.
Erroneous Account Expiration Notification
WHAT HAPPENED?
Some GT account holders were erroneously notified that their GT account was expiring.
WHEN DID IT HAPPEN?
May 15 and 16, 2017
WHY DID IT HAPPEN?
OIT has not discovered the root cause.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
Most users can safely disregard the notification. If your account is legitimately expiring, you should receive a second notification later this week with the correct expiration date. More information can be found here: https://status.gatech.edu.
