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 that is responsible for the use of the account.  DSP can request a generic account by logging into the DMC and selecting the "Request a Generic Account" link.
