Hardware token asset management

Objective

An ID Notary will keep track of and assign tokens. If there isn't an IT Notary designated in a Department or Unit, the customer would need to contact the IT Service Center and have a DUO Manager remove the token from the user's account.

If you are no longer employed by the University of Maryland, system access and authorization will be revoked as part of the normal off boarding procedure. Department staff must collect hardware tokens before separation from the university.
