A resource account allows you to add collaborators and data to it. This eliminates concern about losing the data if any individual collaborator leaves UCSF.A resource account can be created for your group. However, for security reasons, you will not be able to log into the resource account itself.

An email reminder is sent to a Box user and their supervisor to transfer ownership of their files before they separate from UCSF to prevent the loss of access to shared content immediately upon the user’s separation. NOTE: If the person leaving is still a part of UCSF, he or she can transfer folder ownership by following these instructions.
