Additional information on using a Technology Services Managed Device.

- Technology Services will install and configure the operating system with a access for the primary user (one standard user ) account and an administrator-level account) which is defined as the "base configuration."
Technology Services will install any licensed software applications requested by the user during setup.
Note Some software cannot be installed\licensed on an user managed device, such as those that require connection to a license server (MATLAB, SPSS, Tableau) - The user is solely responsible for the data on self-managed systems.
- Any security incidents such as malware/virus infections or other signs of compromise will result in a wipe and restore of the system back to the base configuration.
- If on campus, the device will be registered on an internal network which can not be reached from external, non-SU networks.
- You should not reuse your NetID password for a local user on the system.
- Your primary user account should not run with full Administrator-level access on the system
- You may not access or store any "confidential" data on the system, as defined in the university's data classification.
- SU's VPN connection isn't available—connect to campus via RDS if necessary to reach other SU resources.
