What is it:
- Specialty Account Creation (SAC) is a web tool that students, faculty, and staff use to create
specialty accounts on servers they have been granted access. These
servers are not centrally managed by ITS, but by other departments.
Who gets to use the tool:
- Only faculty, staff, or students that have been granted access by an administrator. If you are required to use a specialty account for a course or to access a specific resource, you will be instructed to do so. If not, this tool is not for you.
How to create your specialty account:
- The Specialty Account Creation (SAC) tool is at https://sac.colorado.edu.
- After selecting the host, you will enter your CU
Login Name and IdentiKey password to create your account.
- Your account's
credentials will be the same as your IdentiKey,
at the time of creation. If you ever change your IdentiKey password, you need to return to this tool and follow the steps above to synchronize your specialty account with your IdentiKey password.
