1 | Users of VŠB-TU Ostrava can use G Suite for Education. |
2 | |
3 | Google offers its services to our university. Identities and groups operated in the university IDM can be used. |
4 | |
5 | The username has the form **name.surname@g.vsb.cz** for employees and for students **name.surname.st@g.vsb.cz**. The part before the at sign is the same as the university email address. |

17 | === Use of the service === |
18 | |
19 | **Employees** have an account created **automatically**. **Students** are included in G Suite **at their own request** via [[HelpDesk>>url:https://idesk.vsb.cz/SelfService/Create.html?Queue=41&Subject=G%20Suite]]. |
20 | |
21 | If interested, we can convert part or all of the group from IDM. |
22 | |
23 | If you end your relationship with the university, your G Suite account will be suspended. |
24 | |
25 | |
26 | === Sign in to G Suite === |
27 | |
28 | The login name is in the form of **your e-mail address**, where you replace @vsb.cz with **@g.vsb.cz**. (examples: (% style="color:#27ae60" %)**alexandr.abecedny@g.vsb.cz**(%%) | (% style="color:#27ae60" %)**alexandr.abecedny.st1@g.vsb.cz**(%%) etc.) |
29 | |
30 | You can check the form of your G Suite email in the summary of your LDAP account under the "**Google e-mail to login to G Suite**" field at page https://innet.vsb.cz/en/user-account/ldap-account/ |
31 | |
32 | There you can also find the initial password for the first login under the "**Password to first login to G Suite**" field. |
33 | |
34 | The first time you log in, you are forced to change your password. |
35 | |
36 | For security reasons, passwords for G Suite accounts are different from passwords in IDM. |
37 | |
38 | Once your account is created, you can sign in using [[the Google login form.>>url:https://accounts.google.com/]] |
39 | |
40 | |
41 | === Reset password === |
42 | |
43 | There is no automated tool to reset your password and you must ask through the helpdesk interface [[idesk.vsb.cz in the Cloud services queue>>url:https://idesk.vsb.cz/SelfService/Create.html?Queue=41&Subject=G%20Suite]]. |
44 | |
45 | |
46 | === The role of CIT === |
47 | |
48 | Primarily, CIT provides **management** of the environment (users and services). |
49 | |
50 | All services and instructions are provided by Google. |
51 | |
52 | Make service requests through the interface [[idesk.vsb.cz in the Cloud services queue>>url:https://idesk.vsb.cz/SelfService/Create.html?Queue=41&Subject=G%20Suite]]. |

55 | === Possible use === |
56 | |
57 | When using the G Suite services, keep in mind that the data is not actually stored on the university's technical resources. Google stores user data in its data centers located around the world. |
58 | |
59 | While G Suite is intended for internal use, there is an option to use external accounts. You can share your work calendar from the domain g.vsb.cz to a private Google account. The same rule can be used when sharing a project document from VŠB-TUO to the account of a colleague from another institution involved in G Suite. |
60 | |
61 | Google lets you easily switch between different accounts in your browser. |
62 | |
63 | |
64 | === Sharing your calendar with a private account === |
65 | |
66 | If you want to use your personal account primarily, you can simply add a calendar from your work account as another calendar. However, you will not have scheduling features that need access rights to your colleagues' calendars. You will need to switch to a work account for these activities. |
67 | |
68 | You can only link to a calendar. For services like Google Drive, colleagues need to share everything directly to a personal account, or access through a G Suite account. |
