IT
Services Site Authority
Department users of the IT Services Site can have up
to five different levels of access on the site. Come
get an overview of how the site is used, and how the
features on the site equate to levels of access. The
process by which department users gain access to the
site will also be reviewed. Key features of the site
include the ability to view, print, or download the
monthly statement, place orders for IT services, and
produce 'service profiles' for departmental employees. |
