In August 2011 UCSB Identity Management service released out next-generation service platform. The following info details changes to University business processes related to directory services and UCSBnetID provisioning.

New employees may now create a UCSBnetID by visiting the UCSB Identity Manager. An employee must first be entered into the Payroll Personnel System at least one business day in advance.

This service replaces the U-Reset Token system previously in use.

Student UCSBnetID management will now use the UCSB Identity Manager rather than the former U-Mail process for UCSBnetID management.

Students will now have to activate their U-Mail account as a separate process, using the new U-Mail Account Activation service.

Forgotten UCSBnetIDs and passwords may now be reset using the UCSB Identity Manager. The former U-Reset process to handle this function has been retired.

The online directory search service at http://directory.ucsb.edu/ has been retired and replaced with a new People Finder service.

The Netpoint User Manager formerly used to update directory entries has been retired. Its replacement is the new Identity Editor, which provides for both self-edit and delegated-edit needs.

Prior to using our next-generation services, faculty and staff will first need to Migrate their Identity.
