MyIT is a web portal allows the recognized contacts for a department to view and manage their Managed Workstation resources (computers, users, budgets, file directories). These contacts are roles (Department Owner, Billing Contact, Technical Contact). You manage user access to Managed Workstation resources primarily using groups in the Groups Service. The roles will determine who can do what with your information, as well as who we contact. The group controls who is eligible for Managed Workstation services and who has access to file directories.
