IT Access

Version française

Authentication systems used at UNIL

At UNIL, two distinct types of access are used:

1. Edu-ID account: this is the permanent identity for the academic community in Switzerland
   UNIL IT account: temporary access for the duration of a person's collaboration or studies with the institution.

These access methods are independent of each other (different username and password), but complementary, required, and, above all, linked. For more information on this subject, please consult the documentation provided by the UNIL Central IT Services (Ci).

UNIL IT account

UNIL employee

Every employee (academic or PAT) with a UNIL contract has a UNIL IT account. This account is automatically created by the Central IT Services (Ci) about ten days before the start of the contract. Your UNIL IT account gives you access to various UNIL or FBM IT resources (servers, Wi-Fi, @unil.ch email, etc.).

CHUV employee (scientific collaboration)

CHUV employees affiliated with the FBM through scientific collaboration at UNIL can request a UNIL IT account with or without a personal @unil.ch email address. This access is necessary to access certain services such as the NAS server or the PyRAT application.

CHUV users: Request an UNIL IT account to access UNIL services

Teacher at the FBM Scool of Medicine (teaching collaboration)

Employees of other institutions (Hospices Cantonaux, CHUV, or other institutions, etc.) affiliated with the FBM through teaching activities at the School of Medicine may request a UNIL IT account with or without a personal @unil.ch email address. This access is necessary to access certain services such as MyUnil or Moodle.

External collaborators

External collaborators who are not employed by UNIL or CHUV may request a UNIL account with or without an @unil.ch email address for the duration of their collaboration on a FBM project or activity. The FBM IT Service is responsible for reviewing requests and reserves the right to refuse them if they are not justified.

External users: Request an UNIL account (external person, neither student nor employee)

UNIL authentication system list and access management

Some IT resources are restricted to specific units or user groups. If you need access to certain websites or applications, please contact FBM IT support to have your access modified. In your request, please specify the access you would like to be granted, your UNIL username, your end date of employment (if applicable), and the unit or research group to which you belong.
