The application for new account requires that the user sign an agreement stating that the user understands and will abide by all policies regarding the use of the Auburn University College of Engineering network. Requesting additional group membership Many times users need to work together on projects. If a group of users wishes to share data only among themselves they can become members of a new group.
Any user can belong to a maximum of eight groups.
Requests for new groups can be made with proper justification of the purpose of the group and identification of a user who will be responsible for who the group members will be, and the deletion of the group after the project is completed. Allowing group access to a file Each file is owned by a user and a group. To allow group access to a file, the file must have group permissions on, and be owned by the target group. Sometimes users forget their password. If this happens, a new password can be generated for the account.
