What is the Harvard Chan Intranet?
The Harvard Chan Intranet is a WordPress-based platform for publishing internal content, intended exclusively for Harvard Chan School students, faculty, researchers, and staff.
Who is eligible to have an intranet site?
Only administrative offices, academic departments, and academic programs are eligible to receive an intranet site.
Sorry, the intranet is reserved for internal school-wide communications. Please talk with your department to see if they can allocate space for you on their intranet.
What alternatives to the intranet are available?
Using the intranet is optional and intended for specific groups for internal communication. There are other tools available at Harvard for collaboration.
How do I log into the intranet?
Please log in to your new intranet site here: https://hsph.me/intranet
How do I manage users (site editors) on my intranet site?
Learn how to manage intranet site users.
On the Intranet only the site owners are able to edit navigation menus. Most users are either site editors or site viewers and therefore cannot update navigation menus.
How can I make a page publicly accessible?
By default, content on the intranet is hidden from the public and accessible to HarvardKey holders only. However, you have the ability to selectively make intranet pages accessible to the public. Learn more.
The legacy website had a carousel feature. Is there a similar option on the intranet?
The old carousel system was discontinued because it was confusing to users, not accessible, and cumbersome to update. We are introducing new features like "Featured news" to achieve similar results without the problems previously mentioned.
Will I be able to access the legacy site after the flagship site launches?
Yes, you will have access to the legacy site in early 2025.

Additionally, all public content will remain accessible forever through the Harvard Institutional Archives and the Internet Archive.
How can I grant access to our intranet site to someone outside of Harvard?
To grant external users access to Harvard's intranet, start by setting them up with a Harvard Sponsored Role. You can set up a Sponsored Role for an external user via the Harvard Sponsored Role Portal. Then, under Settings in the Dashboard, navigate to the Intranet Site Settings, and adjust the site visibility options. Choose either SPH Affiliates or Harvard Affiliates and then check the box labeled SPH Harvard Sponsored Roles or Harvard Sponsored Roles as appropriate.
