Administrative UBITNames

Each Administrative UBITName must be assigned to one sponsor, but more than one person can use it.

Administrative UBITNames may not:

• Exceed 8 characters in length
• Be the same as any current or former UBITName or Unix group
  
• Contain special characters such as $, # and *

Administrative UBITNames are created with 2, 6 or 12 month expiration dates and can be renewed annually. As the expiration date for your Administrative UBITName approaches, a reminder email will be sent to the Administrative UBITName's mailbox.

Like standard UBITNames, Administrative UBITNames are activated by the sponsor using the "UBITName Manager," a self-service Web page. The only difference is that the following information will be that of the Administrative UBITName's sponsor:

• Last four of Person Number
• Birth month (MM)
  

If you forgot the Administrative UBITName password, have the sponsor contact the UBIT Help Center and request it be reset.

Note: Password resets for Administrative UBITNames do not follow the same process as UBITNames, they do not require an identity assurance but the sponsor must make the request.
