# Automatic Account Creation

**Automatic Account Creation** is the process by which the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] generates user accounts without a manual request, based on synchronization with institutional data sources.

## Eligible Groups
Accounts are automatically created for:
- Full-time employees of the Universität and the [[universitatsmedizin]].
- Enrolled students.
- Enrolled doctoral candidates.
- Lecturers (Lehrbeauftragte).

## Data Synchronization
The URZ does not manually manage personal data for these accounts. Instead, data is retrieved automatically from:
- **Personnel Administration** (Personalverwaltung).
- **Student Secretariat** (Studierendensekretariat).

Users must contact these source offices directly to correct any inaccuracies in their personal data.

## Notification
Users in these groups receive their account details via a formal account opening letter or a brochure (Leporello) sent by postal mail.
