Identity and Access Management

IT staff: Report an incident or submit a service request.

Key Identity and Access Management (IAM) components

Authentication

Quickly verify user identities (Who you are)

Authorization

Control user access (What you can access)

User management

Manage users and the policies for controlling users’ access privileges

Services for the Rutgers community

NetID

All faculty, staff, students, and guests are assigned a Rutgers unique identifier known as a NetID, in order to access most digital services.

CommunityID

CommunityID is an account for a broader, extended community at Rutgers. Services available with a CommunityID use an email address for login and are generally distinct from services accessible with a NetID. For example, if you are a new student applying to Rutgers or a parent/guardian who wants to pay a bill for their student, a CommunityID may be for you.

Two-step login with Duo

Two-step login with Duo, also known as two-factor authentication, helps protect your account by adding an extra layer of security beyond your password.

Guest Request System

Rutgers Guest Request System is an enterprise self-service tool that enables university guests to submit their requests to obtain a digital identity.

Early Employees NetID Request System

OIT will provide Early Employee NetIDs to employees with Social Security numbers who need access to electronic services to perform their assigned duties and whose on-boarding process has been delayed.
