A Shared Account allows units and organizations to use U-M Google accounts for email and calendars and to share access to centrally owned files. The account is owned by the unit or organization instead of an individual.<\/p>\n
A shared mailbox may also be referred to as a "departmental mailbox" in the case of mailboxes used by departments at Ross.<\/p>\n
Benefits<\/p>\n
Shared Accounts function as normal accounts and can be used with all U-M Box features and all U-M Google apps (core and non-core, including YouTube.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
All email messages can be kept together in one mailbox and individuals can send email as the Shared Account from their own account using aliases.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Group events can be scheduled by a Shared Account instead of an individual who may leave the university.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Folders and files can be owned by a Shared Account, reducing the risk of data loss if an individual leaves the university.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
