Multiple User Agreement Form

One authorization code distributed to multiple people is considered unsecured. The assigning of one code to be used by multiple people increases the chances of long distance abuse. The Telecommunication Systems Office discourages this practice and, should abuse occur, will not issue any credit.

In light of this, please read and accept this agreement regarding authorization codes.

You and your department recognize the increased risk of sharing one code among multiple users. To prevent long distance abuse, we recommend the following:

  • Distribute and have all users review your Telecommunications bill in a timely fashion (abuse should be reported within one billing cycle).
  • Have staff members keep a call log, to prevent unidentified calls.
  • Keep a list of users issued the code.

If abuse is believed to have occured, the department is to notify the Telecommunication Systems Office to deactivate the code. Since the University will have already paid for these calls, no credit will be issued.
