At IU, how can my group or department request a computing account?

Departments or groups at IU may have computing accounts. Before your group or department can be issued technology accounts at IU, you will need a faculty or staff sponsor to request a Network ID username for the account. To request a username, faculty and staff should follow the directions below:

1. Go to the Account Management Service at: https://itaccounts.iu.edu/
2. Select Manage my IU computing accounts.
   
   
3. You might see a page asking you to log into the Central Authentication Service; if so, enter your Network ID. If not, skip to the next step.
   
   
4. Click request new group username.
   
   
5. Enter and re-enter the group username you want in the first two fields; in the "Display name:" field, enter the full name of your group. Select the campus and department associated with the group, and enter a brief description of the group's purpose.
   
   
6. Click Submit.

When your username request has been approved, you can create your group's first Indiana University computing accounts by using the Account Management Service (AMS). Your group or departmental accounts will usually include a Network ID account, which allows you to create and manage other technology accounts as well as log into certain university services; an ADS domain account, which allows you to authenticate to university resources; and an email account.

To create your initial IU group or departmental accounts, follow the directions below:

1. Go to the Account Management Service at: https://itaccounts.iu.edu/
2. Select Manage my IU computing accounts.
   
   
3. You might see a page asking you to log into the Central Authentication Service; if so, enter your Network ID. If not, skip to the next step.
   
   
4. Click create group accounts.
   
   
5. If your group account request has been approved, the username you requested will be displayed. To create the account, select the username and follow the directions on screen.
   
   
6. Click Submit.

For information on computing accounts for student organizations, see the Knowledge Base document What is UITS policy on computing accounts for IUB and IUPUI student organizations?

Note: Student organization accounts must be sponsored by an active faculty or full-time staff member and be registered with the IU Student Activities Office.

Once your group or department has a Network ID, to request accounts, see the Knowledge Base document At IU, if I already have some computing accounts, how do I get others?

For further help, contact the Support Center on your campus. See the Knowledge Base document How do I contact the Support Center at each IU campus, and what are the hours and options for help?
