Instructions for use when working with the DP resources

1. The data processing resources of the URZ are only made available to students for the fulfilment of tasks within the student education and to employees for the fulfilment of official tasks.
2. Access to the university network and use of the workstation computers is only permitted via the personal LOGIN. The password associated with the LOGIN identifier must be kept secret.
3. Working with someone else's LOGIN code or passing on the LOGIN code will result in the withdrawal of the authorisation to use the system. Misuse of the DP resources (see appendix) may also lead to withdrawal of the authorisation to use or may also have legal consequences.
4. All software provided is subject to copyright regulations. The unauthorised installation of software is prohibited. The installation request must be submitted in writing with proof of licensing to the service desk (servicedesk@uni-leipzig.de).
5. Smoking is prohibited in the pools of the computer centre and eating and drinking is prohibited in the pools.
6. Printing on the laser and colour printers is only permitted with special paper. This paper must be obtained from the computer centre. The costs incurred are to be borne by the user.
7. No liability is assumed for cloakroom and other personal items.
8. When working in the pools of the URZ, the instructions of the support staff must be followed. In addition, the pools are monitored by means of a video system. This is to support all our efforts to ensure safety, order and cleanliness.
9. Failure to follow the instructions for use may lead to exclusion from further work with the DP resources of the University Computing Centre and to blocking of the LOGIN.
