At UNIL, two distinct types of access are used:

1. edu-ID account: which is the permanent identity for the academic community in Switzerland
2. UNIL account: which is a temporary access, for the duration of a person's collaboration or study period with the institution.

These two accesses are independent of each other (different user name and password), but complementary, required and above all linked. For more information on this subject, please consult the documentation of the UNIL Central IT Services (Ci).

Every employee (academic or PAT) with a UNIL contract has his own UNIL account. This account is automatically created by UNIL's IT Center (Ci) ten days before the beginning of the contract. Your UNIL account allows you to access different UNIL or FBM resources (servers, WIFI, @unil.ch mailbox, etc.).

CHUV collaborators affiliated to the FBM through scientific activities at UNIL can request the creation of a UNIL account with our without a personal @unil.ch email box. This access is necessary to access certain services such as the NAS server or the PyRAT application.

External collaborators who are neither employed by UNIL nor by the CHUV may request the creation of a UNIL account with or without an @unil.ch email box for the duration of a collaboration on a project or activity of the BMF. The FBM IT Service is in charge of analysing the requests and reserves the right to refuse them if they are not justified.
