Overview
Binghamton University ITS systems apply entitlements, accounts, and access to each individual depending on their University group affiliation (i.e. faculty, staff, students, etc.). These affiliations provide automatic or requestable access to services like Google email, Microsoft Office, eduroam wifi, and others.
This article shows common service access expectations provided to common group affiliations in accordance with the ITS Binghamton University Account Policy.
Please keep in mind that individuals may have multiple group affiliations, which could modify their access. For access questions unaddressed here, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 607-777-6420 or Submit a Request.

Volunteers and Sponsored Groups
Sponsored and volunteer group affiliations are somewhat unique in that they could have varying levels of access. For example, some volunteer affiliations (i.e. Visiting Researcher/Scholar/Professional) provide accounts that may have similar access to Binghamton University employees since they're registered through HR. To learn more about requesting a volunteer affiliation, please visit the following HR website:
https://www.binghamton.edu/offices/human-resources/employees/internal-human-resource-partner/volunteers.html
A sponsored affiliation provides an account that may only have a small set of access privileges as requested by a dept. to perform a specific business task. A dept. can request a sponsored account from ITS who will review, and if appropriate, approve the sponsorship before creating an account or adding access.
Sponsored
