Digital Asset/Photo Collection (Razuna) Offline Wednesday for Platform Update | |
First Published 7/29/2025 | |
Razuna, UTMB’s digital image library at https://images.utmb.edu/, will be sporadically unavailable this week and will be offline all day on Wednesday, July 30, starting at 8 a.m. These service interruptions will enable a transition to a newer version of the platform that has been in development for several months. Assets currently in the collection will be ported over to the new platform; the URL used to access the resource will remain the same. All current permissions will also be transferred over, although one feature of the new platform is that it will enable single sign on (you will be able to securely use your existing UTMB credentials to access Razuna). Watch for additional details on this capability, along with updated instructions and tutorials, to follow with the launch of the updated platform. Razuna is expected to be back online Thursday morning, July 31. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to sitefinity@utmb.edu. |
