How Does it work?
The system is self-service! iSchool course instructors are allowed to setup their own ist-s-students space by visiting the section under My It Services. When the instructor makes the request to create the accounts a script carries out the task usually within the hour. Each account has:
...
now tied in with the campus Active Directory, so your SU NetID and password are used for authentication. Also, accounts are now generated automatically - so there is no need for instructors to create accounts for their classes.
Administrative access to their own SQL Server Database
.Administrative access to their own MySQL Server Database- Each IST student is provided a folder on the G-drive for their web home directory (G:\IST\IST-S-STUDENTS\*netid*)
What if my student is in another class also using this service?
No Problem! Each student in your course gets their own IST-S-STUDENTS account. This account is tied to your class section so if a student is enrolled in two different courses such as IST359 and IST263 she will have two separate accountsBy default, the system will give each instructor 'db_owner' permissions on their students' databases. If your student needs an entirely different database rather than just using new tables, please submit a helpdesk ticket via https://my.ischool.syr.edu/ and we can accommodate.
As the class instructor, do *I* get an account?
