PURPOSE
6.1 The purpose of the Employee Accounts policy is to provide uniformity throughout the
City in the creation of computer accounts for new-hires, and removal or "lock-out" of
computer accounts at termination or during a disciplinary action.
POLICY
6.2 Definitions:
6.2.1 An "employee" is a person who has been entrusted with access to the City of
Grapevine Computer Network. At time of employment, the Department Head
will request the creation of a "new employee account." Each employee in
the City is assigned a unique computer network account giving them access
to those areas within the network that have been designed to facilitate their
job duties. This system has been designed to provide a secure network
environment that is functional for all employees.
6.2.2 Each employee is responsible for the contents and use of their individual
"employee account." Some features of an "employee account" are assigned
automatically, some must be created, and others are optional. These
features assign certain restrictions, privileges, and rights to the employee.
6.2.3 Access to all City network resources is granted on a "Least Privilege" basis.
6.3 Employee Account - Creation
6.3.1 When a new employee is hired, the Supervisor submits a "New Employee
Request Form" from the Intranet at least three days in advance of the new
hire's start date. This form is located on the City Intranet under Computer &
Phone Request". Select "New Employee Setup".
6.3.2 Upon receipt of the: New Employee Request" form IT creates an employee
account for the individual, and notifies the requestor of the assigned login
name and temporary password for this new account.

6.4 Employee Account - Activation
The IT department creates the employee account with a temporary password. This
new employee I.D. (login), along with its temporary password is sent to the Supervisor.
The new employee logs-in with the new employee I.D. and the temporary password. At
this time, the Network prompts the employee for an immediate password change. The
employee must change the password at this point. When this is accomplished, the new
account will be fully activated.
6.5 Employee Training
Software application training for employees is the responsibility of each individual
Department. The IT Department is focused on providing a reliable network
environment and not on the application training of employees. IT Personnel are
available should an application malfunction; however employee training should be
sought through a suitable training center.
6.6 Employee Account - Deactivation
6.6.1 When an employee is terminated the Supervisor must submit a"Computer&
Phone Request"from the City Intranet; using a "Problem Type" of"Network
Issues" and "Sub-Problem Type" of "Delete Employee Account".
6.6.2 IT deactivates the employee's account for 60 days before deleting the
account. IT also copies the employee's home directory to the Supervisor's
home directory.
6.6.3 For disciplinary termination or upon disciplinary suspension, or other
circumstances such as an internal investigation, it is the responsibility of the
Department Head, his designee or the Personnel Director to immediately
notify the Director of IT or Assistant Director of IT that a specific employee
account needs to be deactivated.
6.6.4 The IT Director or Assistant Director immediately deactivates the specified
employee's accounts, preventing any unauthorized access. Upon
termination, the employee's home directory is copied to the Supervisor's
home directory.
