Login, Roles, Authorisation

In order to allow you to access University of Bamberg data services, the Computing Centre will set up an account with your user name (BA number) and a personal password. By entering this user name and password, users can log on to the university’s data services and confirm their identities.

Students receive their accounts at the time of their enrolment, and employee accounts are set up upon request as soon as – or shortly after – employees begin work.

Your user account is your key to

• all university computers and computer labs
• the university email system
• accessing the file server and central data storage
• external access to university internet and intranet services via VPN connection
• mobile device access to the university’s wireless services, or data network connections in the university libraries or computing centre
• printing services via data network at university copy machines (icprint)
• accessing the university administration’s online services (printouts of enrolment certificates, interactive access to the FlexNow! examinations management portal, etc.)!

Based on access authorisation as recorded by the university’s data services (email, data storage, etc.), the system either grants or denies access to the individuals signing on to the system using a particular user account (BA number). With regard to aspects of data security and the granting of access authorisation, a distinction is made between personal and official data services:

• Data services are always considered personal if users are indicated by their first and last names or by their personal BA number. (Email address: firstname.lastname@uni-bamberg.de).
• In cases where data does not belong to an individual person, but rather to a department or institution, and is processed, saved and presented in fulfilment of that department or institution’s official duties, the data services are considered official.

Institutional Identification Codes (ID Codes) are distinct short designations for university institutions (academic departments, professorships, institutes, projects, administrative departments and sections, etc.) which are used to indicate these entities’ data services. They are, for instance, the institutions’ websites (http://www.uni-bamberg.de/rz), official, job-related email accounts (secretariat.rz@uni-bamberg.de) or file server access (\\daten.uni-bamberg.de\rz).

An institution’s director must make a request for an institutional ID Codes: abbreviation request (in German).
