Server Storage Limits - Due to the extensive number of users we have at the College as well as the limited amount of server storage space available, we are unable to provide everyone with unlimited storage for their email and home directories. In light of this we have begun enacting disk quotas for all users. The policies currently in place are as follows:
Home Directory: User's home directories are limited to 500 MB through the use of disk quotas. If you find you require more space you may send an email to computing@hhp.ufl.edu with a small explanation.
Email Mailbox Size: Mailbox sizes are also limited to 500 MB. You can decrease the size of your mailbox through the use of the Auto-Archiving feature in Outlook or by simply deleting old emails. Again if you require more space, send an email to computing@hhp.ufl.edu with a short explanation.
Passwords
- Standard GatorLink passwords expire either every 90 days, every 180 days, or every 365 depending on your assigned password policy. This policy is not determined by the HHP's Computing Services, but rather it is based on the roles that are assigned to your GatorLink account (for further information, please see GatorLink Password Management Policy, or please contact us if you have any further questions on this).
- All password changes must be done through myufl; you cannot change your password by selecting the Windows "Change Password" option when pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL
- If an incorrect password is submitted 20 times, the user account becomes locked out for a duration of 30 minutes.
- If you are signed on to a UF workstation, please log off entirely immediately after changing your password, and then use your newly created password to logon again.
User Accounts
- GatorLink accounts can be created by the user once they have been entered in to the UF directory with the proper affiliations. Accounts can also be created by Computing Services as a secondary option (to do this, please log on to the Workorder System and submit a new account request)
- Existing accounts can have permissions assigned to them based on the required access for HHP resources
- Requests for mailboxes (@hhp.ufl.edu e-mail) must be expressed
- The default e-mail address will be in the form of GatorLink@hhp.ufl.edu
- We recommend that Staff and Faculty utilize the mail forwarding option provided by GatorLink e-mail services to establish a primary address of GatorLink@ufl.edu for your primary HHP mailbox.
- Guest accounts can also be created, please contact Computing Services for additional information.
- NOTE: Upon terminating employment with HHP, users may keep their email address for 90 days by way of mail forwarding. Please contact Computing Services before departing to coordinate the mail forwarding process. This policy only applies to the full time faculty and staff.
