[ CN Change] – CN staff User plus accounts and Admin accounts

1 Comment

 

What

Internal CN staff user plus accounts will go away / be “merged” with the account you use to log into NWS-term4.

When

January 8th 2016

Why

1 less account to use

Reduced confusion

Better for the backend systems to have 1 administrator type account for computer privilege escalation and communication to systems like Active Directory, BitLocker, SCCM, etc.

Impact to you / what to do

Starting today, Tuesday December 29th, 2015 – Log in with your “admin”/NWS-term4 account for anything that needs escalated privileges, either on the computer or a network/server resource.

The format of the username for the “admin” account is first initial of first name, then first 7 of last name.

  • Example – Joe Smith = jsmith

Encounter problems?

If you encounter problems accessing resources with your “admin” account, please e-mail/contact server support (ssg@helpdesk.oregonstate.edu) with the following information.

  1. Date
  2. Time
  3. Resource you are accessing
  4. Specific error message

    This change has been completed.

    1. All staff and student User+ accounts have been disabled.
    2. Security Group CN_Staff has been converted to a distribution list (permissions will no longer work with it).
    3. Security Group CN_Students has been converted to a distribution list (permissions will no longer work with it).

    If you find a tool or location that you can’t access please let Server Support know at your earliest convenience. On January 22nd we’ll be deleting the accounts and security groups If we haven’t heard of any major issues (2 weeks from now).

    Thanks for your patience and understanding as we transition!
