Departmental computer accounts are strictly regulated to ensure sufficient server space for everyone because storage space is limited. All users should be able to efficiently perform all research tasks so there will be ample storage space for research if users abide by the rules.


Procedure

• The APPM account is to be used to store APPM data only.
• No non-APPM related material is allowed to be stored on personal APPM account.
