The Stanford academic and administrative communities define the group of people who can:
- log into Authority Manager, and
- have active authority
The communities include:
- all regular and visiting faculty
- all regular staff
- casual/temporary staff
- instructional staff
- department-sponsored ids (contractors, consultants, temporary help, etc.)
- all current students
If a person's status changes so that they are no longer a member of these communities (they leave Stanford; their SUNet ID sponsorship expires; etc.), their authority will be automatically revoked.
