Introduction to UCR’s Enterprise Directory

UCR’s Enterprise Directory enables authenticated access to a wide array of campus electronic communications, transaction processing, and reporting systems. Moreover, the Enterprise Directory is one of two core components of UCR’s administrative portal (known as iViews*) and provides a single point of authentication for portal users (the second core component is EACS**, the campus authorization system). The username stored in the Enterprise Directory is known as a UCR NetID.

As more and more systems utilize the UCR Net ID for authentication, and as more and more systems become integrated into iViews, it is important that the campus community understand how UCR Net IDs are established and that these identifiers are established in quick, efficient, and secure fashion. With the goal of facilitating access to UCR’s growing world of cyber resources, the following web pages and notes provide background and information on UCR’s Enterprise Directory and UCR Net IDs.

Similarly, revocation of access is just as important.  Functionality to disable UCR NetIDs based upon an individual’s status within the Payroll Personnel System (PPS)has been implemented. For more information regarding “Disabling” UCR NetID’s, please visit the UCR NetID website.

* iViews stands for Visual Interface to Electronic Workplace Systems.

** EACS stands for Enterprise Access Control System.
