• Multiple employees access to a departmental calendar

Eligibility and requirements

Group IDs are only available to full-time employees with management authorization and to approved student organizations.

DOSO no longer needs to confirm the student organization. Please verify the student organization at https://getinvolved.wayne.edu/organizations. You will need to sign in first to view the entire course roster. If the requester is not listed on the student organization's page as the primary contact or president, please have them contact the DOSO at 313-577-1010 to update their get involved page.

Request a Group ID

If your office or organization requires a Group ID, please submit a Group ID request form. Please read the full instructions on the form to make sure you understand the policies and regulations associated with a Group ID.

Responsibilities for managing a Group ID

The employee who requests a Group ID is responsible for the use and maintenance of the account. This employee is the only one who may request password changes or changes to contact information.

If the employee leaves their position, that person should inform the C&IT Help Desk so ownership of the Group ID account(s) may be transferred to another individual.
