Information Technology Services News: Tiered Access Security (August 2, 2021)

ITS works with technology changes and fights viruses daily to protect our system. This means that we must implement technology changes to ensure students, faculty, and staff are supported in all work locations, and our systems are protected in multiple ways. Recently, the ITC (Information Technology Committee) approved an effective change to enhance the level of security standards by implementing a tiered system.

This tiered system will be developed by internal staff using existing software and ready by the end of 2021:

  1. Privileged Access is reserved for:
    • High Tech Access Specialist
    • ITS Tech I & II
    • Network Administrator
    • IT Director
  2. Specialized Security Access is for those with elevated business impact
    • Developers
    • Sensitive business roles
    • High impact social media accounts
    • Area VP or approver
  3. General User Access is for all other roles and productivity scenarios.
