IT services when employment ends
When your employment agreement ends, the username and basic user rights (login, M365, id.tuni.fi) are valid for 7 days after the end of employment. The other rights related to your user account (so-called additional user rights) will expire as soon as the employment ends. Your account will then be disabled. You may check the validity of your user account on the id.tuni.fi service website.
When your user account closes, the email address and email inbox related to it will be deleted. Forwarding email from a closed email address or setting an automatic response is not possible.
If you are the user rights administrator of, e.g., a disk user rights group, a wiki platform, or the content machine, please ensure that the management entitlements are transferred to the right persons. Request IT Helpdesk to delete your user right(s) and transfer them to the subsequent owners of the services. You may check the ownership of your user rights via the id.tuni.fi.
Also remember to transfer the responsibilities for the systems and IT agreements you are responsible for. If you are the person or contact in charge of a system, IT contract or a licensing agreement, please ask IT Helpdesk to change the person in charge.
Please also see Information security when the agreement or right to study ends (tuni.fi)

- Personal home directory, P: drive:

- If you are the sole owner of group directory user rights, please ask IT Helpdesk to transfer the administration of user rights to the appropriate person well in advance. Also do this if you will continue to have, e.g., a student status.

- Your home computer’s Windows Bitlocker hard disk encryption keys
- If software obtained through the University has been installed on a Windows home computer, or another suitable connection to a TUNI user account has been created, the encryption keys on the home computer’s hard drive may have been stored in TUNI Azure AD. When a person’s account is closed, the home computer may require the encryption key to be entered in some situations, meaning the computer can no longer be switched on. Before your account is closed, please check if the encryption keys are in the cloud and save them elsewhere. By logging in to your personal information in the Microsoft 365 portal on https://myaccount.microsoft.com/ with your TUNI user account, you can go to the ‘Devices’ tab to check whether the Bitlocker keys for your home computer(s) have been saved in the university’s directory service. The IT Services cannot hand over or store encryption keys.

Teaching
Moodle:
- If there are Moodle platforms you will no longer need or want to store, see the Quick instructions on deleting Moodle courses.
- If students still need to have access to your Moodle platform, make sure you agree within your faculty or unit to whom you can transfer the teachers’ rights in your platform.
- Please close the Moodle platforms to which students no longer need access. However, do not delete any content on the platform because the assessments of study attainments are subject to the retention periods set out in Tampere University’s Regulations on Degrees and Regulations on the Assessment of Studies.
- Check the study attainments on the Moodle platform and record them appropriately, if necessary.
- If you want to use the Moodle platform you have built later and on other organisations’ Moodles, you can save a backup copy of the platform and download it to your computer.
Panopto:
- If you want to keep the video recordings you have made with the Panopto video platform and/or published on the service, please download them to be saved elsewhere before the end of your employment in accordance with the guidelines on the Panopto support page (another guideline). The videos will be automatically deleted when they have not been viewed for a few years, but this does not depend on the validity of your user account.
TUNI Virtual Desktop:
- The user profiles of AVD desktops (e.g., an individual user’s Desktop and Documents) will be saved on the network drive in Azure File Share. The user can save the data by logging on to one of the AVD desktops and copying them for storage elsewhere.
- The user can recover data from a Citrix system environment by logging on to a Citrix desktop and copying them to another location.
