Privileges Available for Nonemployees and Inactive Faculty
What privileges are available for nonemployees and inactive faculty (F-INA jobs)?
- Fully Privileged - This is the highest privilege level and conveys the same accesses and services offered to paid employees; including inclusion in the UT Directory and eligibility for a University ID card and library access. The Network Access privilege must be added, in combination with this privilege, to ensure network services, such as Wi-Fi and VPN, work the same as a full time staff.
- Official Visitor - This applies to individuals who have short-term affiliations with a university agency or program and are sponsored by a department. The privilege provides access to many campus services, including eligibility for a University ID Card, library access, and Network Access. Note: by being eligible for a University ID card, an official visitor can get building access, but isn't automatically granted.
- University ID Card (building access) - This card includes a built-in reader element that allows access to restricted-entry buildings on campus, when authorized by the department. Select this privilege if the worker only needs building access. The incidental account will incur a charge for this card.
- Network Access -This privilege allows the worker access to the campus wireless network. By default, the campus wireless network is not accessible to nonemployees unless the privileges include Official Visitor. By selecting the privilege of Network Access alone or in combination with other privileges, the department is sponsoring network privileges for workers assigned to the position and take responsibility for the worker's actions on the network. This entitlement extends the same network access (Wi-Fi, VPN) as full time staff (at cost to the university). Departments should only grant this access for uses consistent with the university's mission.
