TEAMBUILDER Masonic Village at Elizabethtown Employee Newsletter April 6, 2018 Blessing of the Hands
Single sign-on (SSO) What is it? Single sign-on through Office 365 uses one username and one password to access your computer and many applications, such as email, calendar, SharePoint, Kronos, RemedyForce, Mimecast and others. Improvements continue to be made to reduce the number of passwords you need to remember and how you access the applications you use every day. More applications will continue to be added to SSO. Office 365 email shortcut is changing! The Office 365 email shortcut will have a name change and a change to what will be displayed when you first log in. The name will be changing to MyApps. Instead of opening directly into email, it will open to a web page with applications that you have permission to use through the Office 365 SSO such as email, calendar, SharePoint, Kronos, RemedyForce, Mimecast and others. Individual shortcuts will be removed for these same applications from your computer desktop to clean up the clutter. Self-service password reset Over the next few weeks, you will see a new functionality rolled out. This will enable you to change your password or unlock your account, without having to contact the IT Help Desk. We hope this new function will make your work day easier when you have issues with your password. What s Next? Keep checking your email for updates on these exciting changes! Remember, it is very important to log out of any open applications or lock the computer screen before you walk away from the computer device you are using. This will keep others who do not have your same permissions from accessing private or restricted information. For computer related issues contact the IT Help Desk at 717-367-1121, ext. 33109 or helpdesk@masonicvillages.org.
