Guidelines for using the Stat Apps Server
- The Stat Apps Server is not for files storage. Profiles are not retained long-term and therefore your profile should not be used for storing files. Instead, store files in your UT OneDrive or UT Box account, download them to the Stat Apps Server to work, then re-upload files at then end of your session. You can also share local drives from your computer through the remote desktop connection to access your files that way.
- Do not store Confidential data on the server. Delete all confidential data before logging out. For more information on data classification, see: https://security.utexas.edu/policies/data_classification
- There are a limited number of seats on the server, with an even more limited number of licenses for some software. Please be aware that users may not have access to all software at all times.
- The Stat Apps Server is an instructional tool intended for coursework, short-duration personal projects, or a new software package prior to purchasing. We do not recommend using the Stat Apps Server for work related to dissertations, theses, publications, research, or time-sensitive projects. We cannot guarantee that the Stat Apps Server will always be available, and access may be limited.
