Arranging maths linux access

Where is the form

• New staff member:  The PI or manager fills out the account application form. Alternatively if the person can see their staff record in the self service then the applicant or PI can bypass the form and apply by emailing help@maths to say the self service staff record is visible.  (This does not apply to CTO or CRF - only to staff types managed by the maths HR office. )
   
• New research student:   The supervisor fills out the account application form. If the student can see their student record in the self service then the student or supervisor can if they prefer bypass the form and simply email help@maths instead.  This does not apply to visiting students.  It only applies to student records handled by the maths postgraduate office.
   
• Everybody else:  An academic staff member uses the application form to apply for your access. 
   
• Leavers:  Please follow the above if you need to keep access.   Except Emeritus.
   
• Emeritus:  If the selfservice lists you as emeritus you can apply by emailng help@maths.  Otherwise please contact your head of department's PA to discuss keeping access. 

  Forms:
  Self Service Record (maths)
   Maths Linux Login  (applicant's  may not fill out their own form). 
   

• Information on who has a login is only available to group and pavilion secretaries. They use ADE.

How long to wait

Please allow one to three days for staff and students who have the applicable record in the self service. Otherwise allow a week.
 

How to know when the account is set up

• The maths helpdesk will be in touch.  

How does the new person get their new account documents

     * The information should be given when the maths helpdesk tell you the login is created. If anything is missing or unclear then reply to that email. 

What resources are given

Linux login and access to computers which are not grouped own.  If group resources are needed then a staff member (prefereably academic) from the group requests them on the applicant's behalf.
