Accounts

This page outlines the various account types at UMIACS and their management methods.

Do not share any UMIACS-affiliated account for any purpose. Action may be taken against shared accounts.

UMIACS Account

A full UMIACS account consists of the following components:

LDAP Account

Provides authorization for UMIACS-supported computers, secgroup controlled resources, and web services such as GitLab. Uses your UMD directory passphrase for authentication.

Jira Account

Provides access to the JIRA Request Tracker. Please note that it is possible to set a separate password for this account, at which point it will no longer be synced from your UMD account.

Guest / Collaborator Account

Collaborator Accounts

Sponsored account to provide access to UMIACS Web Services for non-UMIACS collaborators.

Request a UMIACS account

Fill out the account request form located at the UMIACS Account Request webapp. For the PI field, enter your PI/Professor/Sponsor's UMD directory ID. Please indicate any labs you are a member of in the notes field to speed up access to your lab's resources.

Once the form is submitted, you will receive an email with a link to verify your email address. You must click this link to verify your email address before the system will send a subsequent email to your PI/Professor/Sponsor to review the account request. Accounts can take anywhere from a few hours to a day for installation after your PI/Professor/Sponsor approves your account.

Sponsored Accounts

You can view a list of the accounts you sponsor in the UMIACS Account Management Web Application. Clicking on an account's display name will bring you to a management page where you can see details such as the installation date or email forward. From here you can edit your relationship to the account.

You can also request to remove your sponsorship or modify the expiration date, but these require staff action and are not immediate.
