Collaborate with your team using a Microsoft shared account

A shared account allows several K-Staters to share an email inbox. The shared mailbox includes email, calendar, contacts and more.The shared inbox has a single address for all outgoing emails, no matter which individual user sends the message.

Benefits of shared accounts

  • No password to remember. Users sign in with their own eID and password.
  • Only those who have been designated by the account owner can access the account.
  • Team collaboration in one inbox.

Get a shared account

To get a shared account, faculty and staff (non-student employees) must submit the Shared account request form (eID sign in required).

Managing a shared account

The person who requests the account becomes the owner of the account and can mange who has access to the account. To learn how to manage a shared account, see the Managing a shared account knowledge base article.

If you have any questions about shared accounts, submit a ticket to the IT Service Desk.
