The Account Sponsorship Application is currently in a testing phase, but will be available to all full time employees in the coming weeks.

work activities and their student identity. The separate work accounts allow for greater control over what information can be shared with students, and then ultimately removed through their eventual departure from the organization, either through graduation or moves to other departments and roles.
NetIDWork accounts also receive University email and are given access to Microsoft 365. If you sponsor a NetIDWork account for a student employee, they will receive a new NetID in the format of aaa00000work, where the first 3 letters and 5 numbers match their existing NetID.

Sponsoring Privileged Access (NetIDAdmin) Accounts
Employees that have a high level of administrative access to a system or application should have a NetIDAdmin account sponsored for them. NetIDAdmin accounts help separate day-to-day account tasks from those that can have a large impact on a university University system , and reduce the risk of phishing attacks compromising applications. NetIDAdmin accounts are not eligible to have email emails created for them. If you sponsor a NetIDAdmin account for an employee, they will receive a new NetID in the format of aaa00000admin, where the first 3 letters and 5 numbers match their existing NetID.
