YOUR ACID

What is it?

Users sign onto the ITaP Infrastructure mainframe using their ACID as the logon ID. In most cases your ACID is seven characters long, based on a predetermined standard coding scheme.

An ACID may be given access to the following facilities: CICS, FTP, MAI and/or ROSCOE CDE or RJE. Teleprocessing data entry systems are located within the CICS facility and require formal approval by the department data “owner” to access a specific system. Most users will have one ACID for all facilities.

Your Responsibilities:

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH YOUR ACID.
Users’ names are associated with ACIDs so Security Administration may track activity and violations.

Executive Memorandum C34 Data Security & Access Policy governs the University’s policies for data stored on ITaP’s mainframe computer. You may view this Memorandum at this website:
