    What You Need to Know
    This will take effect on Friday, July 27th

    We strongly recommend that you continue to assign the appropriate Group Tag.  This is why:

    • The Connect service uses assigned Group Tags to notify CDA’s when an employee separates from the university.  CDA’s will not be notified if an account is not assigned a Group Tag.  
    • If your department assigns department email aliases, you will still need to assign Group Tags and then use CAP to create the aliases.
    • You will not be able to deactivate a user’s Connect account if the user doesn’t have your department’s Group Tag.
