# Serviceflag

A **Serviceflag** is a specific attribute or permission marker within the university's central identity management system used to authorize access to (or grant access to) particular or specialized IT services.

## Application in GrypsTube
To upload videos to [[grypstube]], a user's account must have the corresponding **Grypstube-Serviceflag**. Without this flag/attribute, the user cannot log in to the upload interface, even with a valid university account.

## Provisioning

### Personal Accounts
The flag can be requested and activated/granted via the [[ums]] (referred to as the Universal Management System in the disk version and the Central Account Management System in the generated version).

### Functional Accounts
These are handled manually via email requests:
- The disk version states they are handled via requests to the service administrators.
- The generated version states the flag is assigned manually by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]].
