New auditing and notification procedures for eToken Administrators

Authentication Services has added two new features to eToken notification procedures to assist departmental eToken administrators in the management of tokens within their department.

These features include,

  1. A welcome email for new eToken administrators once an eToken is enrolled.
  2. A monthly audit that monitors staff under your administration who have recently had a change in employment status at the University.
