Is there any point to logging into personal accounts before Phase 5?
As far as I understand from the FAQs, I’ll still need to log into my role account until the mail boxes are merged, and the role account will still have access to everything required until it’s deactivated which also won’t happen until Phase 5
The latest email also says:
You do not need to add your personal account to any of your Teams, SharePoint
I don’t understand how I would do this - unless it just means “please don’t login to Teams using your personal account”? Or have I totally misunderstood this?
Exactly. If I can’t add the other account that I use, and nor can others, then there was little point in releasing personal accounts until that was ready to go? What else can they do right now?
if we’re still logging into role account emails, I fail to see the advantage of using personal accounts as well - it’s just increasing the number of accounts I log into for no benefit surely?
These accounts don’t have worth until all phases are completed.
The important thing is check you can login all ok and see the mailbox, maybe send yourself a test email. Add the account to your mobile device if you have cadet stuff in your phone.
This is an aggressive period of change.

The end result is that our finance/hr processes will be electronic and we stop having to wet sign forms that get lost in the system.
I think this is the important point which hasn’t been communicated well, and has caused some confusion (although I do appreciate everything the Bader team are doing)
This does make sense and clarify things, I just don’t think it’s what people were expecting initially. No real complaint from me, it is progress for sure! I just think people were expecting to log in and have their other accounts there. Not just a log in to make sure it works kinda deal
Things weren’t helped with the delay in licenses, because the individual mailbox should have been there from the start.
The comms out have detailed the phases, maybe not as clearly I just put it / details lost in translation and the focus being on having good data.
What we need to remember is that I doubt any organisation has created ~ 10,000 accounts and this is being delivered by an IT team of 4 (2 of whom are developers). Let’s also remember that these guys have been RAFAC for a long time so won’t have any experience of this type of work from another job.
I really want to reiterate that this is good progress, and these things are certainly noted and remembered! The hard work is appreciated for sure. Just a few questions that wanted answering
This is by all accounts a positive change that this organisation needs.
Scrap role accounts and just have one account per person, that you have throughout your time regardless of what you do, much easier to maintain.
This has worked across industry for the best part of 30 years. I don’t know of anyone who has multiple accounts where I work now or previously and it doesn’t prevent people doing more than one thing. If people are precious about what they do, there’s always the signature block. Now we are at long last getting to where we should have been 15 or so years ago it seems a shame to sod it up now.
Why is it not a surprise that acquiring licenses was a problem.
@themajor is that ~10000 for this or overall? There must be getting on for 10000 based on several sqn roles and associated roles up the chain.
