Some transactions require authorization beyond a user code. The manager of Systems Analysis and Programming can supply the name of the appropriate application administrator to contact. Faculty members requesting instructional user codes for use by their students must obtain the signature of a faculty sponsor. A password is issued with each user code. The password should be changed by the user a minimum of once each month.
Passwords are never to be displayed openly in written material.
CICS user codes remain valid as long as the employee's job status and computer access requirements remain the same. Instructional user codes expire at the end of the semester in which they are issued. A list of personnel with user codes will be provided to departmental supervisors on a semi-annual basis. Upon reviewing the list and indicating any necessary changes, the supervisor will sign and return the list to the Computer Services manager. Southeast Missouri State University students, faculty, and staff are the primary constituency served.
