.. _IT_when_leaving_DTU: =================== IT when leaving DTU =================== .. Contents:: When you are about to leave your employment at DTU, there will be some IT stuff that you should consider, primarily **E-mail** and **data/document files**. The rather detailed description below will hopefully give you an understanding of DTU's IT systems from the viewpoint of an employee. DTUbasen and what it means to you ================================= The IT-management of people at DTU is governed by the DTUbasen_ personnel database. See also this page on Identity_Management_ (in Danish only). By logging in to DTUbasen_ you can view your own personnel data. There are two types of personnel data: 1. Basic personnel data such as name, address, CPR-number. 2. So-called **Profiles**. Typically there are Profiles for employees, guests (visitors, collaborators, emeriti), and students. Each person may have one or more DTUbasen_ Profiles. Each of the Profile(s) corresponds to some kind of association with a specific DTU department, for example, DTU Fysik. A Profile may have a status of *Active* or *Deactivated*, as defined by the Profile's *Start date* and *End date*. .. _DTUbasen: https://www.dtubasen.dtu.dk/ .. _Inside: https://www.inside.dtu.dk/ .. _Identity_Management: https://www.inside.dtu.dk/da/medarbejder/it-og-telefoni/it-support-og-kontakt/it-systemer-og-vaerktoejer/it-systemer-ait/dtubasen Requirement of an active Profile -------------------------------- In order for you to be able to log in to DTU IT-systems, including your DTU E-mail mailbox, **at least one active Profile** must exist for you in DTUbasen_. When you don't have any active Profile, you can no longer access any DTU IT systems. DTUbasen Guest Profile ---------------------- When people leave DTU employment, there often will be a need for using the DTU E-mail mailbox for work-related tasks for some period of time, for example, for completing papers under publication. If you have such a need, please follow these points: 1. Access to your DTU mailbox requires at least one active Profile in DTUbasen_. 2. You must make an agreement with your group or section head to obtain a **Guest Profile** in DTUbasen_. 3. You should agree about the ending date of the *Guest Profile* - you can always request an extension at a later date if necessary. 4. Please contact your **section secretary** to have this *Guest Profile* created. Your E-mail at DTU ================== DTU Policy ---------- It's DTU's policy regarding E-mail that all mail sent to a user@some-department.dtu.dk must have a final destination inside the DTU E-mail servers. **No forwarding** of E-mail to remote addresses will be permitted by DTU. See this `policy document `_ (in Danish only) on Inside_. E-mail auto-answer ------------------ It is polite to set up automatic E-mail auto-answers when you are no longer at DTU, so that people sending mail to you can be advised about your current status. This can be done in *Microsoft Outlook*, or in the DTU webmail https://mail.win.dtu.dk: * Click *Options* in upper right corner, select *Set automatic replies*. * Enter the desired auto-answer text and the dates when the auto-answer will be effective. * Press *Save*. Archiving of your mailbox ------------------------- 30 to 90 days after your Profiles in DTUbasen_ have been deactivated, you mailbox will be transferred to an archive and will no longer be accessible. Please see the Archiving_ policy document (in Danish only) on Inside_ for further details. .. _Archiving: http://portalen.dtu.dk/DTU_Generelt/AIT/Services/Infrastruktur/Email/Arkivering.aspx Your files and documents ======================== You probably have documents and data stored in various places at DTU. Please discuss with your group or section head how to dispose of this data before leaving. Desktop and laptop PCs ---------------------- Please make sure that you have backed up all the data from your desktop PC which you need after leaving DTU. If some data should be handed over to your group or section head, please arrange this before leaving. PCs bought for you with DTU grants are owned by DTU and must be returned to your group or section head. Please put a note on the PC saying something like **OK to reinstall this PC** when you have made the backup. IT staff will wipe the PC before it's given to another person. Department file servers ----------------------- Please talk to the IT staff about help in making any backups. Please agree with your group or section head whether any remaining data should be archived or deleted, or perhaps transferred to another person. Central DTU storage ------------------- For data stored on central (AIT) storage systems, please ask the IT staff.
