A Digital User Access account is required to access IT services provided by UL such as Email, Brightspace, Microsoft Teams and OneDrive for Business.
An account consists of a username and password. All accounts must have Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) and Password Reset (SSPR) enabled before they can be activated. This task is completed during the onboarding process for new students and staff.
