Logging in as a data custodian
Data Custodians are a special role on the CSUMB Data Glossary, as this user role has the ability to edit content.
Because editing access is limited to protect the integrity of the CSUMB Data Glossary from spam and other unauthorized edits, Data Custodians must login to the site to edit using a user ID and password.
Data Custodian Accounts
Each department or business unit on campus that has a role as Data Custodian within the CSUMB Data Glossary receives one account set up and managed by Institutional Assessment and Research (IAR). This account can be shared by any individuals within the department or business unit tasked with reviewing and updating content on the CSUMB Data Glossary.
If any problems arise with your department's Data Custodian account, contact IAR.
