Info

Only people who have a UMD or Assured computer should be given access to IFS data. It is the responsibility of the Data Manger to manage

For the most part, data managers will use a UIS web page called Toolkit https://toolkit.uis.cam.ac.uk/to add users to the appropriate security groups to be able to access group drive data. This is under construction at this moment. Once available detailed instructions will be providedInstructions how to access are detailed in Step 7 below.

Colleagues who need access to the group drive will also need must have a UMD or Assured computer. If they do a data owner or manager can ask CSCS to grant them access. If they do not, speak , either the Data Manger can grant access, or they can request via the CSCS Service Desk using this request form Clinical School Computing Service User Portal - Group Drive Access. If they do not have a UMD or Assured computer, first check if they have received an audit form from CSCS and have completed. Secondly, have they received an invitation from CSCS to attend the Recovery Clinic. If any of those things have not happened, please contact the CSCS Service Desk and ask them to check where the person is within the process. If it is an urgent matter, please escalate with your Business and Operations Manager about getting them in the queue for a computer.

Procedure:

  1. Each user will determine which group drives they need access to and reach out to the relevant Data Managers.

    1. The list of group drives and data managers is here: https://www.staff.admin.cam.ac.uk/system/files/download/ifs-path-reference-list-all-drives.xlsx (please note that this a spreadsheet hosted on a UIS website. When you click this link it will open up a blank webpage and download the file, putting it in the downloads folder on your computer. If there are any errors, please advise CSCS. The file will be updated if changes are required).

  2. When a user asks for access to a group drive:

    1. Ensure that you have reviewed the group drive’s permissions and it has been implemented by CSCS

    2. Determine whether they should have access (you may need to speak with the Data Owner to confirm, or you may know from previous group drive configuration)

    3. Confirm the user has a UMD or assured device, using this look up tool - https://app.powerbi.com/groups/5c2484bc-b48a-4f87-a789-84945a43bed2/dashboards/16bd20f4-5dee-4f5d-8f39-7ce8adc68a87?ctid=49a50445-bdfa-4b79-ade3-547b4f3986e9&pbi_source=linkShare

      1. Click in either the User Name, User Email or Department field (see below) to do a search.

      2. Type in the name, or department name in the appropriate field you are looking for. If the user is not listed, they do not yet have a UMD device.

      3. If you are sure a user has a UMD device but you can’t find them on the list, try just their surname. People often display their initials instead of forename in the directory. Unfortunately you cannot search by CRSID.

  7. If you have chosen folder-level security for the drive;

    1. go to the file https://www.staff.admin.cam.ac.uk/system/files/download/ifs-path-reference-list-all-drives.xlsx
