Special authorisations assigned to your account are required to access some IT services. These authorisations, known as entitlements, are assigned to your account after you have applied for them.

You can view the authorisations (entitlements) of your account by following the link "Identity Management" in the right-hand navigation area of the Ulm University portal website and logging in with your Ulm University account. In the Identity Management portal, select the "Data sheet" section in the left-hand navigation bar and you can then view all authorisations for your account in the data protocol on the right-hand side under "Entitlements". Please check whether your account already has the requested authorisation(s) before submitting your application.

To obtain a missing authorisation, you must download and complete the current version of the relevant application form (see next section). As a rule, you and your supervisor must sign the application form. Finally, scan the completed application form and send the PDF scan of the form to us via the submit section at the bottom of this website. We will then check the application, set the authorisation for your account after successful verification and finally inform you by e-mail about the now available authorisation. Depending on the content of the application, a comprehensive review and assignment can take up to one week.

Below you will find a list with links to the application forms as well as a description of the authorisations and the corresponding entitlement designations:
