Group or Guest Email Account Request

 

A Group email account (ie. sac-psyclub@mail.accd.edu) or Guest Email account (i.e. non-ACCD employee such as a consultant) can be requested by an ACCD Employee.  However, the department head must first grant the requestor permission to request this special email account.

 

Guest/Group email account requests will be created manually and will follow the naming conventions listed below. 

 

Individual Ids 

PALS Userid/Email ID for ACCD employees (with a record in the human resources system - HRS) is automatically generated based on the person’s name as listed in the HRS database. The ID is composed of the first character of the first name and up to the first 15 characters of the last name. If this combination produces an id that has already been assigned to someone, a 1 to 5 digit sequence number is appended to the userid in order to make it unique. 

 

                                                                                Example:  John Doe                          jdoe17@mail.accd.edu

 

Group Ids

PALS Userid/Email ID for a group are manually created. The userid will be composed of a 3 character code representing the college or district the group belongs to, a dash ‘-‘, and then a 1 to 15 character name representing the group or organization.

 

Codes are as follows:

SAC – San Antonio College                          SPC – St. Philip’s College                              PAC – Palo Alto College                               

NVC – Northwest Vista College                 NLC – Northeast Lakeview College           DST – ACCD District Offices

 

                                                                                Example:  SAC Psychology Club                               sac-psyclub@mail.accd.edu
