Identity & Access Management

• Active Directory groups are widely used to grant access to file shares and applications.
• The Identity and Access Management system will automatically remove the WashU Key account from all active directory group memberships that are automatically provisioned based on data from the Workday employee record or that are manually provisioned.

• Access to Box for terminated faculty and staff is automatically removed based on the date of termination in Workday.
• Departments may request the Box contents for former employees be transferred to their former manager for disposition.
• If the former faculty or staff member is also a student Box access is retained.

  • Upon graduation students have 91 days to transfer their Box account and contents to a personal Box account.
  • If you were a student worker at any time, you will lose access to Box when you leave the institution. The 91 day rule no longer applies.

• Retired Faculty who have received an approved Academic Services Access role get to keep their Box account with a 1 terabyte storage limit applied. Access is subject to being removed if not actively in use.
• People with an Emeritus role in Workday retain their Box access indefinitely.
