Security in OITPasswords

  • To protect UTSA’s technology resources and the work of its faculty, students and staff from unauthorized access, individual login identification user IDs and passwords are assigned. All users are required to use only their own personal ID and password and may not use group ID and password combinations or any other person’s ID and password. UTSA maintains records of system use based on login IDs and passwords, as required by Texas law and in accordance with industry best practices.
  • Individual users must reduce their risk and liability and not share with anyone (including family members) their UTSA account(s), passwords, Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), Security Tokens (i.e. Smartcard), or similar information or devices used for identification and authorization purposes.
  • To maintain the integrity of UTSA systems, users must not circumvent password entry through use of auto logon, application "remember password" features, embedded scripts or hard-coded passwords in client software. Exceptions may be made for specific applications (like automated backup) with the approval of the UTSA Information Security Officer.
