Informational and Educational Technology (IET) introduced updates to the Temporary Affiliate (TAF) services last month. Temporary affiliate or TAF services allow UC Davis staff and faculty to sponsor temporary accounts that can provide access to many UC Davis computing services. This system is typically used to create accounts for guest faculty and staff, visiting scholars, and volunteers.

The updates introduce the following new benefits
 

• Improved service reliability and security
  • All renewals must be re-approved.
  • Only UC Davis employees may be sponsors or approvers.
  • No longer allows the sponsor and approver to be the same person.
• Allows sponsor to transfer sponsorship to another qualified sponsor.
• Additional departmental reports.
