Community System

The Community System provides a means of creating identities in the campus enterprise directory in a real-time, electronic process. Anyone with an existing UMID will be able to initiate the registration for a UMB identity.

Identities can be created for a specified period of time if the user has a limited engagement with the University.  Information is available through the Help Desk. 

Types of users the Community System includes:

  • Incoming Employees
  • Emeritus Faculty
  • Visiting/Adjunct Faculty
  • Temp/Contractual Employees
  • Partner Organization Employees
  • UMMC/UMMS/FPI Employees
  • Library Patrons (HS/HSL and Law)
  • Visiting Students (e.g., BCCC)
  • Prospective Students
  • Pre-Directory (2004) Alumni
  • Volunteers
  • Vendors

UMB Affiliates

Affiliates are primarily individuals who are not paid employees or registered students who need access to University resources.  

Sponsors and approvers can enter affiliates into the UMB Community System.  Once entered, the new affiliate needs to be approved.  For information on entering and approving a record, please view:

Note: An affiliate account does not automatically grant access to resources that require individuals to be a paid employee or registered student.  Certain applications require an additional form to be filled out for access, as does granting building access.
