User Account Policy
The general guidelines below apply to all RRC Scientific Computing Support (SCS) services including, but not limited to, the RRC's Web-based applications such as MyData Server, ANT, DELIVER and OLISS. Other RRC services/facilities may have individual policies for the computers located in their respective facilities.
One user account per person, per organization
In other words, please do not register more than once for each organization that you work for. It makes it difficult for us to provide assistance when a user has multiple accounts under different login names for the same organization.
Account sharing
You may not use/share another user’s account. There are no per-user charges for user accounts, so we ask that you register for your own personal account.
Idle accounts
If your account has been idle for more than one year, you may be sent an automated e-mail reminder. You will be asked to log in and verify your account information so that we know that your account is still “active”. Idle accounts are automatically disabled 30 days after the first reminder.
Accessing user accounts
We reserve the right to access user accounts to the extent necessary for routine maintenance, backup and investigation of abuses of our user account policy.
Additional notes
Accounts are also governed by the Academic Computing and Communications Center (ACCC) computer policies:
“Individual campus units and departments that provide access to the UIC Network are responsible for ensuring that use is limited to legitimate users and is consistent with University policies and with contractual obligations governing the software or services offered on UIC Network.”
