Administrative UBITNames

Faculty and staff may request an Administrative UBITName to use for conducting university business, such as sending email from a service-named account or logging into resources.

About

Each Administrative UBITName must be assigned to one sponsor, but more than one person can use it.

Administrative UBITNames may not:

  • Exceed 8 characters in length
  • Be the same as any current or former UBITName or Unix group
  • Contain special characters such as $, # and *

Expiration and Renewal

Administrative UBITNames are created with 2, 6 or 12 month expiration dates and can be renewed annually. As the expiration date for your Administrative UBITName approaches, a reminder email will be sent to the Administrative UBITName's mailbox.

Activating

Like standard UBITNames, Administrative UBITNames are activated by the sponsor using the "UBITName Manager," a self-service Web page. The only difference is that the following information will be that of the Administrative UBITName's sponsor:

  • Last four of Person Number
  • Birth month (MM)

Changing and Recovering the Password

If you forgot the Administrative UBITName password, have the sponsor contact the UBIT Help Center and request it be reset.

Note: Password resets for Administrative UBITNames do not follow the same process as UBITNames, they do not require an identity assurance but the sponsor must make the request.
