This information is under review and will be updated.
In short, in most cases other than collaborators primarily associated with other UF units, please make sure you also take the persons “Network Managed By”(NMB). This is necessary for multiple services, including VPN access to many PHHP and UFHealth resources.
UF Directory Coordinators are advised to use “Departmental Associate” as an affiliation type, with an appropriate Working Title field in UF Directory entries for new employees/associates.
Benefits of associating someone with a specific department following this pattern, include:
- As “Department Associates,” people gain faculty-like access to resources in my.ufl.edu and other areas. Important: A “Pre-Applicant/Contact” is only granted a generic view and is not eligible for any privileges involving University resources. An accurate date of birth in the UF Directory is required for these individuals to obtain a GatorLink ID.
Directory Coordinators encountering any difficulty should contact the UF Identity & Access Management by sending an e-mail message to BA-BridgesIAMADMIN@bridges.ufl.edu

- Person Demographic Information
Making sure a valid UF-based e-mail address is recorded as a UF Business E-mail Address is very important since the university and college maintain an expectation that administrative messages sent to this address will be received. Although it is not required to add much more data, any additional information possessed – such as a preferred local e-mail address, business mailing address, office physical address and related phone numbers, will be extremely beneficial. It would be a good idea to let everyone know that none of these values are automatically updated. Depending on your unit’s practices, new employees may need to be advised to update their own information using myUFL functions, or to contact one of the UF Directory Coordinators in their unit.
