What is the ‘Network Managed by’ relationship in the UF Identity Registry?

As our computing environment grows larger and more complex, and as applications require more from the network, more is required from a directory service. To address these needs, UF has implemented Active Directory to improve the management and security of UF’s network.  Only one Network Managed By relationship is allowed at a time.

Active Directory needs to form a relationship based on network administration. For example:

• Albert Gator is in the OIT department.
• His computer and user account as managed by Enterprise Systems.
• To facilitate that his user account in Active Directory is managed by the appropriate entity we will change his “Network Managed by” to Enterpirse Systems, Dept ID – 14800000.
• This will result in his user account being moved to Enterprise Systems so it can be administered there.
