Types of test accounts

We'll provide you one or two accounts for testing. See below for details:

  1. Your Tufts Username and Tufts Password is your primary account and it will give you access to any Apps desired or required.
  2. A Test o365 Email account will be provided only if you're also part of email testing. Apps are functionality separate from email and can be ignored if needed.
