# Usage Permission

**Usage Permission** (*Nutzungserlaubnis*) is the legal right granted to individuals to utilize the communication and data processing infrastructure provided by the **Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ)**.

## Granting of Permission
Permission is operationalized through the assignment of a personal user identifier, known as an **Account** ([[zentraler-nutzeraccount]]).
- **Automatic**: Granted to members and affiliates of the university.
- **Application-based**: Required for external partners, other state universities, and specific agencies.

## Scope and Limitations
- **Primary Purpose**: Permission is granted specifically for official duties in research, teaching, library, administration, and student self-governance.
- **Private Use**: Permitted only if it is "minor" and does not impair the URZ's purpose or other users.
- **Conditions**: The URZ may attach conditions to the permission, such as limits on computing time or online access.

## Revocation and Restriction
Usage permission can be denied, revoked, or restricted if:
- The prerequisites for granting the permission no longer exist.
- The user violates the rules of the [[ordnung-des-universitaetsrechenzentrums]].
- Resources are insufficient or reserved for special purposes.
- The planned project is incompatible with the URZ's tasks.
