Standard 4: Server Access & Management

  1. Server Access & Management
    1. The "web host" is where all institutional web pages are stored and maintained. To ensure the integrity and security of the Host, access will only be granted to authorized individuals, e.g. Content Managers. Content Managers are responsible for ensuring web pages meet the Web Page Development Guidelines and adhere to the Web Site Standards. Content Managers must request a UserID and Password using the Content Manager Web Server Access Request form available from IET. Forms must be signed by one of the following:
      1. Department Chair or Division Dean for Instructional programs
      2. Directors for Administrative Departments
      3. Student Life Dean or designee for student clubs and organization
    2. Review of Web Pages for adherence to Standards and Practices and Development Guidelines should be ongoing and periodic. The "Content Manager" is responsible for reviewing instructional or departmental pages under his or her jurisdiction. Club Advisors are responsible for periodic review of Student Club or Organization pages. Faculty Sponsors are responsible for periodic review of academic-related student pages.
    3. Instructional and Administrative departments may request access for as many content managers as they deem necessary; however, selecting only one content manager to coordinate all web page development and transfer of files to the web server is strongly urged to ensure tighter security and to make supervision of content managers more efficient.
    4. Divisions or Departments that have contracted web page development with outside vendors may request access for those vendors using the "Web Manager Server Access Request Form" or can make arrangements with the Webmaster for transferring files to the appropriate space on the web server.
    5. Student Clubs may request server space through their Faculty Advisor. Club Faculty Advisors will be responsible for approving club web pages and submitting Content Manager Access request forms to the Webmaster.
    6. Student web pages for class assignments must be reviewed and approved by the course instructor. The course instructor must submit a "Class Assignment Server Access Request" form for students who need "Content Manager" access for class assignments. Students who want to create academic-related web pages (not as class assignments) must obtain sponsorship from a Professor, Department Chair, or Division Dean. The sponsor will review and approve the web page and submit a "Content Manager Web Server Access Request" form to the Webmaster.
