Sponsor Responsibilities
Sponsors are responsible for the following:

- Appropriate guest account life cycle management as follows:
- The sponsor shall request the guest account for a period not to exceed the necessary duration, based on the legitimate business need.
- In the absence of a set duration, the guest account will default to a period of twelve (12) months.
- In the event the guest account is needed less than the predetermined duration, it is the sponsor's responsibility to request the deactivation of the guest account upon the end of their guest's assignment.
- In the event the guest account is needed for a period greater than twelve (12) months, the sponsor may request renewal of the guest account.
- Sponsors will be notified via their OHIO email fourteen (14) days prior to the sponsorship expiration date to confirm the need for renewal.
- If the sponsor takes no action on the renewal confirmation email, the guest account will be disabled on the expiration date.
- Sponsors understand that guest account access may be revoked, and the sponsor may be contacted by the Information Security office should their sponsored guest(s) be involved in inappropriate use.
