Policy:

In the interest of protecting the integrity of the systems and network, administrative access to INST-managed systems will be granted only with the approval of the Director.

Procedure:

• Requests for Administrative Access must be submitted in writing to the Systems Administrator or head of the Systems Administration Unit. The request will then be considered and brought to the attention of the Director.

• To be considered, a PI on an active grant or an INST Unit Head must initiate the request. The request must include the name of the person to whom the access is to be granted, a reasonable need for the access, and a time frame for access to be granted, if applicable.

• A response to the request will be provided to the requestor as soon as the request can be investigated and discussed with the Director. All decisions will be final.

• Users attempting to gain unauthorized access to any INST system will be subject to both MSU and INST acceptable use policies.
