Full time employees are eligible to sponsor accounts for university affiliates, student employees (NetIDWork), and privileged access (NetIDAdmin). ITS has created the Account Sponsorship Application to provide an easy way to create and manage these accounts. The Account Sponsorship Application is currently in a testing phase, but will be available to all full time employees in the coming weeks. For more information on how to use the Account Sponsorship Application, <view this page>.
The ITS Account Sponsorship Application is currently in a testing phase and will be released to all employees in the coming weeks.
Sponsoring Affiliate Accounts
Departments often need to give individuals temporary access to university resources. These individuals are often temporary contractors or visitors that are otherwise not employed or affiliated with the university. By sponsoring an affiliate account for them, they will be assigned a NetID that they can use the same way a full time employee or student does. This NetID would allow them to log in to many services, such as UConn's Single Sign On, ITS Supported Workstations, UCONN-SECURE, etc. Affiliate accounts may be sponsored for up to 12 months from the date of request, and may optionally receive university email.
Sponsoring Student Employee (NetIDWork) Accounts
ITS encourages departments to obtain NetIDWork accounts for Student Employees. These accounts allow for a student's responsibilities as an employee to remain separate from their duties as a student, and for any access to university data to be easily revoked if they leave the position. NetIDWork accounts will also receive university email and be given access to Office 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 system, and reduce the risk of phishing attacks compromising applications. NetIDAdmin accounts are not eligible to have email 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.
