- Uniqnames & Accounts
There are different processes for getting a uniqname based on a person's relationship to the university. - Your U-M Online Identity
Information such as name, address, and more is stored in various authoritative systems at U-M (for example, Wolverine Access) and fed to MCommunity. Individuals can provide additional information. - Friend Accounts
These guest accounts allow people to log in to the U-M computing environment using their email address instead of a uniqname. - Sponsor System
The Sponsor System allows authorized U-M staff members to create uniqnames and access to standard computing services for people for university affiliates who are not faculty, staff, or students. - Active Directory Accounts
Several Windows Active Directory (AD) forests are in use at U-M. The largest and most inclusive of these is UMROOT, which is administered by ITS. UMROOT is where most user accounts are created, and both central and local units place their Active Directory (AD) objects for using the Windows infrastructure. MCommunity data is used to provision and de-provision Active Directory UMROOT accounts through a real-time data feed from MCommunity. - Identity Governance Tool for U-M
Identity Governance for U-M is an optional tool for strategically and proactively managing access to university digital and physical resources. - Losing Access to Computing Services
MCommunity manages automated de-provisioning of access to the standard computing services when people leave the university. It also de-provisions access to some services when people transition from student to alumni or from employee to retiree.
