What is an Application Account?
Application accounts are defined as logons designated for a computer application or group of applications. They are often needed in units where a scheduled application retrieves data from the Data Warehouse. In many cases, there are multiple technical staff supporting the application. Use of individual logons in these situations involves sharing personal logon, in violation of University policy; therefore, Application Accounts should be requested.
For more detailed information about Application Accounts, see the
"Application Accounts & the Data Warehouse" document.
How Do I Request an Application Account?
To request an application account for your department or unit, use the
Data Warehouse Access request form. Be sure to select the "Data Warehouse Application Accounts (Add)" option on the main screen.
