Ownership

Account Ownership

The TechZone defines the owner of an individual account as follows:

• Service account owner: Any faculty or staff member linked to the account.
• Resource account owner: Any faculty or staff member listed in Calendar Access for the account.

TechZone staff are able to determine if someone is linked to a service account or listed in Calendar Access for a resource; that information is not publicly available.

Students are never considered account owners.

Domain Ownership

In addition to the ownership rules above, the TechZone will coordinate with departmental leadership to designate one or more persons as overall domain owners. These individuals will be considered owners of any departmental account (any account in the departmental email domain or their department's accounts in the letsci.wisc.edu email domain) whether or not they would be an owner as defined above.
