Identity Manager - FAQ

Last Updated: 05/24/2013

General FAQ

How do I access CU-Boulder Identity Manager?

You can go directly to https://cuidm.colorado.edu or link to Identity Manager from the login page of CUConnect.

I'm new to the university. What do I have to do to activate my accounts?

IdentiKeys must be activated through Identity Manager. New faculty, staff, students, and affiliates should click on the Activate Your IdentiKey button on the login page. The activation process includes accepting a policy, setting security questions, and setting a password. Activation requires personal information like your employee or student ID number, date of birth, etc.

What do I do if I've forgotten my password?

If you need to reset your forgotten IdentiKey password, you will need your CU Login Name and the answers to your security questions. Click on the Reset Password link on the login page to get started.

If you've never logged in to Identity Manager and you need to reset your IdentiKey password, click on the Activate Your IdentiKey button on the login page. You will be guided through the activation process that entails accepting a policy, setting security questions, and setting a password. Activation requires personal information like your employee or student ID number, date of birth, etc.

Why won’t Identity Manager allow me to route my e-mail to an off-campus e-mail provider?

Federal legislation and System Policy require employees to conduct university business on a university-owned or controlled e-mail account. Specifically, university policy stipulates that for faculty and staff:

University records (including e-mail) shall be maintained in a medium owned or controlled by the university. University business shall not be conducted on private web-based electronic mail accounts, except where conducting such business on a university owned or controlled electronic mail account is impracticable. Click here to view the policy.
