Identities and roles at Uppsala University
The Uppsala University authorization system can issue several types of system identities (roles). Users with different user identities will be able to access one or more IT service at the University. Each identity/roles require a unique login.
Different identities at the University
Active Identity
An Active Identity is someone with an active and clear connection to a faculty, but do not receive a salary from the university. Users with this kind identity have the same system status as employees.
Employee Identity
Employees with a current employment contract will have an Employee Identity.
Functional Identity
Several users to the same mailbox will have a Functional Identity in order to access this e-mail address. Functional identities can also apply to equipment (e.g. printers) that need user authorisation for this service, such as login, send and receive e-mail.
Guest Identity
Temporary visitors at Uppsala University requiring access to the system will be issued with Guest Identities.
Student Identity
Students at Uppsala University require a valid Student Identity to access various IT systems and services.
Identity for student organizations
The student organization identity works in the same way as the functional identity, but is used by student organizations.

This link Administrative Systems will provide more information on the specific system login requirements such as uses joint web login or if the login is handled by a local support.
