About Generic Accounts
Generic accounts are useful for several purposes: department email and/or calendaring, testing and/or other application support, and occasionally for cases where the account needs to be used by more than one person over time for a specific resource. Additionally, departments may request that a former employee's account be converted to a generic account so that content (email, saved files, etc.) can be managed.
Generic accounts are sponsored by the SU staff , or faculty or student that is responsible for the use of the account.
