NetID Lock Policy

Locking NetID accounts is restricted to authorized personnel. Units requesting access to this ability will need to contact the Identity Security team and provide authorization from their supervisor, and if there is an approved business justification (criteria not published here), access will be granted.

Requesting A Lock

To request an account be locked immediately, it should be under one of the following scenarios:

  1. There is an active security incident and the NetID is being used for malicious activity
  2. A bug has caused the NetID to remain active without a valid university affiliation
  3. The NetID belongs to a person whose employment was terminated and the department wishes to restrict access immediately

Criteria

  • Under scenario 1, Security Operations or Incident & Operations Center personnel should take this action.
  • In scenario 2, Identity Security team members should address the issue.
  • In scenario 3, Identity Security team members will lock the account only with authorization from the immediate supervisor or department head.
