# URZ: Funktionsaccount Documentation

This source provides guidance on the purpose, application, and request process for functional accounts at the Universität Greifswald.

## Key Information
- **Definition**: A functional account is similar to a personal user account but is designed to be shared among multiple employees or external parties.
- **Request Process**: Functional accounts are requested as "resources" via the Central Account Management system (UMS) under the path: `Meine Ressourcen > Ressource beantragen`.
- **Support**: Technical issues are handled by the URZ via the Groupware ticket system or the hotline (ext. 1420).

## Use Cases
- **Email**: Used for central email addresses managed by multiple people. These can be integrated into local email clients or shared via Groupware.
- **Alternative Webserver**: Used to grant external persons or organizations access to resources on the alternative webserver (e.g., for maintenance). Requests for this purpose must explicitly state "Zugriff auf den alternativen Webserver" in the description field.
