An Amazon WorkSpace is a cloud-based virtual desktop that can act as a replacement for a traditional desktop. An Amazon WorkSpace account allows a Seton Hall employee to access various restricted resources such as Cognos and Banner admin pages, from anywhere. 

Supervisors may request access for an employee by completing the **[Amazon WorkSpace Access Request](https://setonhall.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/4/group/35/create/127)** Form  
 (*please note to fully access form supervisor ****must log into resource***).

Upon completion of access being granted to Amazon WorkSpaces an automated enrollment email message will be sent outlining how to initially setup the client software and the default credentials.
