Defining Campus Roles and Access
- Jessica Wilson
Campus Roles are important to IT systems as they determine what individuals are permitted to have access to. When a person is no longer affiliated with the university, access to accounts will be removed. This document describes the different types of roles and what they have access to. Please refer to the Valparaiso University Employee IT Account Policy for further details.
