Requesting a departmental or group account
Note: IU's VPN is intended for individual computing accounts only. Group and departmental accounts cannot access the VPN. See Why can't I make a VPN connection through an IU group or departmental account?
Before a group or department can obtain technology accounts at IU, a faculty or staff member must sponsor the account. To request a departmental or group account username, faculty and staff should follow the directions below:
- Go to the Account Management Service at: https://itaccounts.iu.edu/
- Select
Manage my IU computing accounts.
- You might see a page asking you to log into the Central
Authentication Service; if so, enter your Network
ID. If not, skip to the next step.
- Click
request new group username.
- Enter and re-enter the group username you want in the first two
fields; in the "Display name:" field, enter the full name of your
group. Select the campus and department associated with the group,
and enter a brief description of the group's purpose.
- Click
Submit.
