    Subject: Departmental IT Account Information for <DeptmentNumber #####>- <DepartmentName>

    Attachment: home2genericiamgprogITAcctInfo_<DepartmentNumber #####>_<DateSent(MMDDYYYY>.xls

    Body:

    Dear Departmental HR representative,

    Below please find a list from Human Resources of employees whose employment status has changed ('Pending Closure,' 'Transfer,' or 'Role Change').

    Please see the attached Excel file detailing their access.


    - If the employee on the attached report marked as 'Pending Closure,' they are receiving notification that their University computer account and access to IT services will be removed in 30 days. They are instructed to contact their department if there are questions regarding their employment status. ITS has also provided information on how to save personal electronic files. However, effective immediately, the employee no longer has access to Library or Blackboard resources. All IAS PeopleSoft permissions are revoked.

    If an employee is being rehired/extended, please ensure paperwork to update their record is in Human Resources within 30 days. If paperwork has already been submitted, no further action is needed.

    - If the employee is a 'Transfer,' please review their group membership as they may no longer need access to network shares and mailboxes associated with their former department. These individuals will not lose their current IT access or receive any notice from ITS of their transfer.

    - If the employee is a 'Role Change,' please review their group membership as they may no longer need access to network shares and mailboxes associated with their former department. Those who receive this status maintain active accounts and are either current/recent students, recent lecturers who may return within the next 6 months, or recently retired emeriti. These individuals will not receive any notice from ITS of their change in status.


    Please refer to the De-Provisioning FAQ https://wiki.albany.edu/x/7jaAAg for more information.

    Body:

    Dear Former UAlbany Constituent,


    We are writing to inform you that your University computer account and access to IT services will be deactivated on the date listed above unless there is a change in your employment or student status. However, access to Blackboard and the Libraries is not granted during the 30 day grace period and is deactivated effective immediately. Any IAS PeopleSoft permissions employees have is also removed immediately.

    We recommend taking action now to save your electronic records including email messages, electronic documents and web pages. Please also update any social media or third-party sites that may use your UAlbany email address as login or as primary email. Once your account is deactivated, you will no longer be able to access your Albany.edu email account or any University IT services which require logging in with a NetID and password, with the exception of MyUAlbany.

    Should you return to work or study at the University, your IT access will automatically be reactivated. However, if your account has been closed for longer than six months you will not be able to retrieve any files or emails previously stored in your accounts.

    Information on how to prepare for deactivation of your account is available at https://wikialbany.albanyatlassian.edunet/wiki/x/GkL-AQsooeAw

  • Faculty/Staff exceptions may be granted with departmental approval/request from IAM Contact. University employment situations vary and the Identity and Access Management Group is the ultimate decider on whether or not the exception is granted
  • Bright Space Brightspace exceptions are granted only after being vetted by the Educational Technology Services (ETS) group. Exception Request must come from that group
  • Student exceptions may be granted upon approval by the academic advisor or department staff who can verify that the student legitimately still needs access. (i.e. Masters Thesis work). The advisor/department representative will be responsible for filling out the request form that will be sent to them from the Identity and Access Management Group. The Identity and Access Management Group will make the exception and notify the student
  • Student exceptions for short-term temporary access may be approved at the discretion of the Identity and Access Management Group.  These exceptions can be made only for accounts that are in disabled status.  Accounts that have been deleted are irrecoverable. 
  • Emeritus exceptions are based on the individual having Emeritus status in their employment record. Emeritus are required to opt-in to maintaining their account once a year. For more details please see
