Automations at Aalto - what does a cost center define?

When a cost center change (for example, organizational change) is planned, please contact the IT Service Desk as soon as possible to enquire about the technical recommendations for each item. Please create a separate ticket for each item on the list below to ensure smooth progress.

A person’s cost center change affects the items below:

• The automatic mailing lists will change – a person is removed from their old mailing lists and will be added to new ones. If the old email lists are still needed, the person needs to be added manually. 
• User groups (in Active Directory) are updated according to information from salary payment. An example of this is that a user can no longer access shared work and teamwork network drives of their old cost center.
• User rights to different systems may change (e.g. SISU). If needed, please contact the system administrator.
• The user’s computer – if the user changes from one department to another, the cost center information needs to be updated.
• The user’s mobile subscription needs to be updated to the new cost center. Inform [email protected] and they will do the update.
• Physical access to special zones and meeting rooms may change. Check instructions at https://www.aalto.fi/en/services/how-to-get-an-access-token-and-access-rights. If you need assistance, please contact [email protected] or your schools’ technical service (TSS).

If the person whose cost center changes works for a schools’ technical service or is an IT administrator, also IT administrator right groups, workstation administrator (WA), and server administrator (SA) rights groups need to be updated.
