NMU Organization Account

Setting up an NMU Organization Account

When an organization account (sometimes called a group or org account) is created, a few things need to happen to get it up and running. Each organization account has a sponsor. That sponsor can do things like control access and set passwords for the account. This guide will walk you through the management of the account.

 

Note: All actions below must be performed by the account sponsor (owner).

Delegates

Delegates are a way to allow users to access an email account without needing to know the password. This is the recommended way for users to share access to an account. Anyone who has delegated access can access the account by clicking on the account button on the upper right of Gmail. 

 

Accounts with (Delgated) after them indicate that you are a delegate to the account.
