    16. HR Policies and Practices Who gets an account? How do I request account access? Presented by: Molly Baird

    17. 8/26/2012 Project ICE! 17 Ongoing discussions with HR We’re working with HR to understand the current business practices and exceptions. Ongoing discussions with CAIT HR managers over the next month: Who gets accounts, when, for how long? Who gets email mailboxes, for how long? Who gets email forwarding, for how long? We’re helping HR understand how to put their business rules into practice in the new environment. Example: HR could assign a new (non-employee) role to a separating employee who needs to maintain electronic services, email, etc. The new IT infrastructure was designed to Bring balance to our account management (makes auditors happy!) Enable policy-writers (HR) and exception-granters (HR) to enforce electronic access policies Keep electronic directory data in-sync with online phonebook. …and more!

    18. 8/26/2012 Project ICE! 18 Short Version HR determines whether an account is “off” or “on.” HR determines policy exceptions. Usernames are automatically generated by IdM system. Hiring managers determine which electronic services an account can utilize: What kind of workstation Email Home directory Network Share access VPN account Other applications

    19. 8/26/2012 Project ICE! 19 Account Process Example: New Employee Today: Hiring manager requests new user account: Name, HUID, phone number, start date Shared drives, file access VPN, other applications Email mailbox, MeetingMaker, email alias Future: HR enters employee information into PeopleSoft and the account is automatically created with the following data: Name, phone number, office address, start date, username Hiring manager requests the following access: Shared drives, file access, VPN, other applications, email mailbox and quota, email alias

    20. 8/26/2012 Project ICE! 20 Account Process Example: Separating Employee Today: Hiring manager requests closure of user account: Name, HUID, phone number, end date Copy of home directory? Delete email? When? Delete email alias? Delete MeetingMaker? Delete VPN? Future: HR enters employee information into PeopleSoft and the account is automatically disabled after the end date. HR determines if employee should maintain the following access: Email account, email alias Hiring manager requests the following: Removal from network shares Copy of home directory, email Delete VPN

    21. 8/26/2012 Project ICE! 21 Account Process Example: Transferring Employee Today: Hiring manager requests transfer of user account: Name, HUID, phone number, end date, new department name Copy of home directory? Delete email? When? Delete email alias? Delete MeetingMaker? Delete VPN? Future: HR enters employee information into PeopleSoft and the account is automatically moved to the new department. Hiring manager requests the following: Removal from network shares Copy of home directory Delete VPN, delete email, etc.

    22. 8/26/2012 Project ICE! 22 Drill-down: Email changes Changed procedures due to the new ICE! mail system (server-based mail storage) Coordinate email access prior to employee’s departure--export PST before they leave and leave PST file on workstation if the emails should be kept for the replacement employee Coordinate Exchange mailbox shut-down with transferring employee and Helpdesk to prevent message loss Coordinate Email forwarding with Helpdesk and separating/transferring employee Doing nothing for a separating employee’s mailbox will mean the mailbox is inaccessible to everyone.
