At this time the CU System Administration has several different user accounts used for accessing different resources. Over time UIS is working to reduce this number and use the CU System ID for access to all resources.
A CU System ID is the user account and password for CU System Administration users and affiliates. CU System Administration uses Active Directory for its primary account management. This account is used to access a variety of resources including the CU System Portal, network, email, laptops, VPN, and many others.
System Administration Employees: New employees will have an account created automatically.
System Administration POIs and Campus Affiliates: Please fill out the CU System ID request form for this account access.
See the direction on the UIS Service Desk's "How to" page under Office Networking and Passwords.
A CU PeopleSoft ID is a directory account used by IT professionals and some business office super users to log into specific PeopleSoft resources that cannot use the CU System ID or campus credentials. Example are Application Designer, Excel to CI functionality, PeopleSoft Test Framework, etc. A CU PeopleSoft ID is NOT required for general access to PeopleSoft applications. Normal access is federated and uses campus credentials.
At this time this is available only for the HCM and FIN applications.
Only certain IT professionals and business office super users need a CU PeopleSoft ID.
