At IU, who can have an account on Webserve, and how do I get one?

Who can have an account

The university web server, Webserve, provides web space for:

• Online publications by Indiana University departments and officially recognized organizations
  
  
• Student organizations registered with the Student Activities Office at IU Bloomington or with Campus and Community Life at IUPUI

  Note: Student groups must have a full-time faculty or staff sponsor to own the account.

• Faculty members presenting information regarding their classes or research areas
  
  
• Associate instructors and graduate students with teaching responsibilities providing course materials for their classes

  Note: A full-time faculty or staff sponsor must own the account. Graduate students usually ask an advisor or the faculty member in charge of associate instructors to act as the owner. Keep in mind that the owner's professional responsibilities must be related to the purpose of the web account. The faculty or staff member will act as account owner and sponsor, and will be an authorized contact for the account. An authorized contact has full publishing access to the account; however, the account owner must request password resets and unlock accounts.

• University departments, including non-academic departments, presenting information about their services, facilities, and so on
  
  
• Approved professional organizations, provided the group is directly related to the business of the university and that at least 50% of the group's members are IU faculty or staff

  Note: Professional organization computing accounts are for the sole and exclusive use of the IU organization and its designated members, and may not be used for or by other organizations or individuals not affiliated with IU.

Getting an account

To request an account on Webserve (www.indiana.edu, www.iupui.edu, www.iun.edu, or www.iuk.edu):

1. First request a departmental or group account in the Account Management Service (AMS). See At IU, how do I request a departmental or group account?
   
   
2. After you have created the departmental or group account in AMS, and you have created an email account or set email forwarding for it, then you can apply for a web account using the online server account request form.
