Group Role Accounts: Their Purpose and How to Use Them

What Are Group Role Accounts?

Group Role Accounts are department emails that provide a central log in for employees as well as an address for outside individuals to contact the department.

Group Role Accounts are also the preferred method for student workers of the department to log in. 

All group role accounts are subject to the following rules and capabilities: 

• Access to Global Address List
• Calendar Features
• Network Printing
• By request, they will have access to the department share drive (M)

Department Staff are in charge of monitoring the account making sure that access is still valid, when a student is terminated from the department it is required that the password be changed.

Group role account passwords can be changed at the following site: https://den.apu.edu/rolepasswd
