The Perun update introduced several tweaks for a more comfortable identity and access to services management. The new version allows, for example, a bulk creation of sponsored accounts or setting their expiration.
We've recently improved the way bulk sponsored accounts can be created. The input format is CSV, and the supporting information is shown here. With this method, passwords are generated automatically, or a request can be sent to users to fill in the password and activate the account. There is also the option to set the account expiration date.
A novelty is also the possibility to set the expiration date for individual sponsored accounts and those that are created in bulk. Expiration can be set or modified later in the user overview.
Essential and most frequently searched information is available on the user's overview page in individual tabs. Thus, it is possible to obtain information on whether the given user is sponsored and who sponsors him, the date of his expiration in the organization, or it is possible to send a request to reset the password.
In case the user forgets the password, he can ask his sponsor to generate a request to change the password. You can find the password reset on the overview page about the user.
When creating sponsored accounts, we added the option to send a password request to the user. We can think of this step as the completion of the registration by the user.
To simplify some operations, we've added quick actions to the sponsored accounts table.

As of 1 August 2024, the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop licence, which was previously available to all MU employees and students, will no longer be available at Masaryk University. As an alternative, we recommend switching to the more modern ArcGIS Pro, which offers a modern user interface, greater stability, more advanced features and better user support.
Do you want to know the news about Microsoft 365 tools used at the university? What changes and improvements await us in 2024? We have prepared a webinar for you, where we will not only summarize all the current information, but also look at tips on how to work (together) more securely and efficiently in Microsoft 365.
