Description:

Applicable to:

  • Fort Collins and Pueblo staff who are NetID administrators

Prerequisites

  • NetID administrators must be staff members.
  • Student hourly employees working for IT departments and other temporary employees may only have read only NetID admin access.
  • All NetID administrators must read, regularly review, and comply with the NetID Administration Acceptable Use statement.

NetID Administrator Actions, Roles and Permissions

  • Read Only Admins can search and view person information, lists of admins and service accounts, logs, and reports, but they cannot make any changes.
  • Activation Email Admins can also add and remove NetID activation email addresses.
  • Help Desk Admins can also add and remove NetID password recovery email addresses and reconcile accounts. This is usually the appropriate role for Human Resources staff.
  • Partial Admins can also update email aliases, reset NetID passwords, and manually disable accounts. This role is more limited and generally reserved for supervisors.
