We ask that users who had reported an issue on the 7th please resubmit their request. Issues reported on the 8th and 9th which have not yet been resolved are being logged into the system and you will receive the automated RT emails as confirmation shortly after.
Many user accounts are reporting as unavailable or not existing. This is affecting many login services such as the previously reported BearPAWS issues as well as, but not limited to, other services such as BearMail and Moodle. Technicians are aware of the issue and working towards resolution.
