Admin Account Computer Forms
This is a guide to the account computer forms for admin staff in DAMTP. Last updated February 2013.
Account application Form
Please use the main account application form to apply for the IT accounts for new people joining the department (including academic visitors, but see visitors section below). The form's contents are passed between different people so avoid delays by filling in as much as you can.
Applicants will receive laptop internet access (wired and wireless/wifi), raven, email and department accounts.
Notes
- Fill in the form as far in advance as you can of the person's arrival. Allow at minimum a week for setup.
- Please use the applicant's full name in the Name fields. Applicants have the opportunity to tell us themselves about preferred ways of writing their name when the form passes to them.
- If people arrive before their accounts are ready give them lapwing ticket to use with their laptops while they wait.
- See here for further details about how to use the main account application form.
Undergrads and PartIII needing accounts on the main system
- Use the main account application form.
- Copy and paste the email from the UTO confirming the student's account access need to the notes section of the form. Without this, there will be a delay processing the application.
- The end date is compulsory and must be when the piece of work is expected to be completed, not the student's university end-date.
Visitor Notes
IMPORTANT: Please subscribe all visitors to the visitors list. This is so the facilities team can email important site announcements to them. Don't forget to unsubscribe them when they leave.
When filling in the form for visitors its crucial to give their office and email details. Otherwise finding them when they are here is difficult for Facilities and Computer Officers.
Academic visitor here for under a month
Short term visitors are sometimes content to just use their laptop with eduroam or a lapwing ticket to access the internet. In this case you don't need to fill in the account application form .
Casual Visitors
Give a lapwing ticket to casual visitors. Or ask them to pick up one from CMS reception. They use this to get internet access on the laptop, tablet and mobile via the wireless(wifi) and wired network.
Wireless (wifi) is available throughout the site.
Conferences and other groups of short term visitors
If you expect a group of people, maybe for a conference or talk, there is no need to set the lapwing ticket accounts up one by one. Use the lapwing ticket events interface to create a batch of tickets.
Notes
- CMS reception and UTOs can also create lapwing tickets.
