Typo3 Access and Training

TYPO3 accounts are only issued to individuals who regularly perform editorial tasks and require personal access for that purpose. Before submitting a request, you must verify whether the tasks can be handled by individuals who already have access.

As a general rule: as few accounts as possible, as many as necessary.

Requirements for a TYPO3 Account

• An account will only be granted if a specific official need is demonstrated.
• The responsible department or unit, in consultation with the central online editorial team, determines whether the requirements for personal access are met.
• An account is granted for specific tasks. If these tasks are no longer being performed, access privileges are revoked. To ensure that access is granted only for as long as necessary, accounts are generally granted for a limited time, and the need for them is reviewed regularly.
• Unused account slots do not have to be assigned.
• A particularly urgent need does not automatically override the applicable quota limits. Exceptions must be expressly approved.

The following quotas specify the maximum number of accounts that may be allocated. They do not represent target figures and do not constitute a right to utilize the full quota. It is expressly encouraged to remain below the upper limits.

The following upper limits apply to the various organizational units:

• Academic departments: up to two accounts per discipline, one account per institute, and up to eight accounts for the central administration.
• Central units, scientific centers, research and competence centers, departments, and administrative offices of the university administration, as well as the student government: up to six accounts each.
• Appointees and interest groups: up to two accounts per committee or officeholder.

Even within these quotas, the goal remains to limit the number of accounts to what is actually necessary.

If the technical requirements are met and a spot is available in the centrally managed account quota, the online editorial team will confirm the individual’s eligibility for access.

The person in question will then have the opportunity to reserve a spot in the mandatory TYPO3 e-learning training course.

The account will not be activated until the training—including the exam—has been successfully completed. The online editorial team will set up access and grant permission to use the account.

1. Before registering, please check whether you have a realistic chance of obtaining a TYPO3 account. Only a limited number ofnew accounts are issued, typically through a waiting list process.
2. A prerequisite for a TYPO3 account is the successful completion of an e-learning course. You have three weeks to complete the course (the time required varies by individual—based on experience, the basic course takes approximately 8–10 hours in total). In the fourth week, we’ll make an exam available; successfully completing it will result in a certificate of participation. Training sessions start monthly. Please note:
   • An extension of the training period is not possible.
   • If your enrollment is canceled or you do not complete the course by the deadline, you must reapply for an available training spot. Automatic rollover to the following month is not permitted.
