# Central User Account (Zentraler Nutzeraccount)

This source provides the foundational guidelines for the central user account system provided by the Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ) at the Universität Greifswald.

## Key Provisions
- **Mandatory Access**: A personal user identifier is strictly required to access centrally provided services, including email and WLAN.
- **Management**: All account administration is handled via the [[ums]] (Account Management System).
- **Automatic Provisioning**: Accounts are automatically generated for specific groups based on data from personnel administration or the student secretariat.
- **Activation**: New accounts remain inactive until the user logs into the [[ums]] and changes their initial password.

## Eligible Groups for Automatic Creation
The following groups receive accounts automatically:
- Full-time employees of the Universität and the Universitätsmedizin.
- Enrolled students.
- Enrolled doctoral candidates.
- Lecturers (Lehrbeauftragte).

## Support
Technical issues regarding central services are handled via:
- The [[groupware]] ticket system.
- The URZ hotline (extension 1420).
