Staff Joining

Before taking any of these steps it will be best to know the following

• That the account has been authorized by a member of staff with authority to do so.
• What department the user will be working in. This gives you an idea of what permissions they will need later and where to put the account in AD.
• Special access to specific programs. E.g. SIMS, VenueBooker etc.

Creating account

• Create the initial account. The username format should be <First name>.<Second name>

People with double barreled names should remain the same just removing the "-"
In the event that their name is too long use anything after the "-"
Remove any additional characters, such as apostrophes

If in doubt, here are the rules used for bulk imports:

Final username should not be longer than 20 characters

• UPN is USERNAME@lvc.org
• E-mail address is USERNAME@lvc.org
• Profile is \\homeareas\profiles$\workstation
• TS Profile is \\homeareas\profiles$\termserv
• Logon script is kix32 logon.kix
• Home folder L: --> \\homeareas\staff$\USERNAME
• For home folder permissions check Linton-HomeFolder and be aware which buttons you are clicking

Security Groups

At the very least assign a security group which is a member of the the group Staff:

• community
• ITT
• Site staff
• Student Support
• Support_Staff
• TA
• Teachers

(i.e. do not add users as direct members of the group Staff)
...or one of the groups which has GPOs directly applied

• External Staff
• governors
• Sports Centre
• Supply
