Finding a Service

Once on the services page, you have a few ways to find a service:

  1. If you know the category of your service (e.g., Accounts and Security), you can click directly into the category and find your service.
  2. Use the search at the top right of the page ("Search the client portal"). This feature searches the entire GBIT Self-Service Portal (Services and KBs).
  3. Select the "Services A-Z" button to view all the services that GBIT offers.

NOTE: Signing in to the portal will provide access to additional services that are available only to signed-in users.
