THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH

IT services are provided to the Office of Research through two distinct groups. The Office of Academic and Administrative Information Systems (OAAIS, formerly ITS) handles domain accounts, email services and network/desktop support. The IT team of the Office of Research (now also a part of OAAIS) creates and supports custom software such as RIO (Research Information Online), Research Online and RITS. These two groups each have their part in activating or terminating the accounts of employees of the Office of Research.
 
The most important thing to remember when requesting a new account or terminating an existing account, is that the supervisor or manager must make these requests. For security reasons, requests made by the employee will not be honored.
 
New Employees in the Office of Research
  1. Create a Remedy request either online at www.help.ucsf.edu or by calling 514-4100, option 2.
  2. You will need to include several items in the Remedy ticket details.
    • The name of the New Employee.
    • The accounts requested: domain, email or both.
    • Initial group assignment of the Remedy ticket should be {ITS-CSSP-DLS}. They will create the domain and email accounts.
    • If permissions are needed to any Office of Research custom software (RIO, Research Online, RITS, etc.), include the application and the permission rights needed in the Remedy ticket details. Please be specific and state the type of tasks to be performed or the role to be assigned. If the new employee is replacing someone or will need the same rights as another employee, you can state "grant permissions similar to 'Other Employee'". Also, mention the Office of Research Services {ORS} in the details so when the CSSP-DLS team has completed their tasks, they can re-assign the Remedy ticket to the Research IT group.
  3. Complete the top section of the 'New Account' request form located here. Certain fields are required. You will need the new Employee's UCSF ID and a Fund/DPA, among others, to complete this request.
  4. When the Remedy ticket is assigned you will be contacted to provide the 'New Account' request form.
Example: Please assign this request to ITS-CSSP-DLS. We will need a domain and email account for 'New Employee'. In ORS, 'New Employee' will need access to the 'Authorization' and 'Contact' sections of RITS, the 'Training Attendance' sections of Research Online, and will need 'IACUC Admin' rights in RIO.
Or: Please assign this request to ITS-CSSP-DLS. We will need a domain and email account for 'New Employee'. In ORS, 'New Employee' will need RITS, Research Online, and RIO permissions similar to 'Other Employee'.
