Request access rights or changes, or terminate an account

Particularly for departments, it may be useful to request a specific directory or folder be created on the file server and have it restricted so that only specific people can access it. Please complete the File Server Access & Terminaton request form for this purpose. In order to terminate an account or access rights, forward a completed File Server Access & Termination request form to the Help Desk.
