Information related to the pooled university affiliate position’s attributes is presented in the Create a New Position: General section. This section can be accessed by clicking General in the document navigation on the left side of the page.
Document summary information and a link that enables you to change your desk/view appear just below the page header.
The Create a New Position: General section is divided into the following subsections:
-
General Information
- Position Type – Identifies the university affiliate category. (View more information about university affiliate types.)
- Assignment Limit – Pooled positions can optionally be limited to a number of assignments established by the department.
- Privileges
Privilege refers to entitlements extended to incumbents assigned to university affiliate positions. Privileges are not required and should be determined based on the role of the position. Privileges are designated when the position is created, and all incumbents assigned to the position inherit the privileges. Types of privileges include:
- Treat Like an Employee (0% appointment)* – This is the highest privilege level and conveys the same accesses and services offered to paid employees; including eligibility for a University ID card.
- Official Visitor* – This applies to individuals who have short-term affiliations with a university agency or program and are sponsored by a department. The privilege provides access to many campus services.
- University ID Card (building access) – This card includes a built-in reader element that allows access to restricted-entry buildings on campus. Select this privilege if the incumbent(s) needs building access. The incidental account will incur a charge for this card.
- Public Network Access* - This privilege allows incumbents assigned to positions with access to the campus wireless network (restricted.utexas.edu). Select this privilege if incumbents assigned to positions only need access to the public network.
* Note: By default, the campus wireless network (restricted.utexas.edu) is not accessible to a University Affiliate position unless the position’s privileges include Treat Like an Employee (0% appointment), Official Visitor, or Public Network Access. By selecting one or more of these privileges, the department is sponsoring network privileges for incumbents assigned to the University Affiliate position and takes responsibility for the incumbent’s actions on the network. This entitlement extends the same wireless access and bandwidth allocation as a full time benefits earning staff member (at cost to the university). Departments should only grant this access for uses consistent with the university's mission. Minors may not be granted access to the public network unless the sponsoring department maintains a written networking Release and Indemnification (.docx) form on file.
Visit the ITS ID Center website to read basic information on ID cards, requesting a proximity card, or information on upgrading a UT EID.
