How do I create an Affiliate logon?

SSO supports logons for any person associated with the A&M System who has a valid Universal Identification Number (UIN). Such individuals can be given an Affiliate logon within SSO. It is NOT necessary for a person to be an employee or contingent worker in Workday to access SSO.

For example, an SSO administrator may want to create an Affiliate logon if a new/prospective employee does not have an SSO account yet or if a new contingent worker or contractor relationship is established and access to an SSO application is needed.

The process to create a SSO account for an Affiliate is as follows:

1. If the individual needs a UIN, create the UIN using UIN Manager:
   • Use the Search function to verify that the Affiliate does not already have a UIN
   • Use the Add function to create the new UIN
2. Use SSO’s Affiliate search function to find the person in SSO
3. Enter the person’s current email address and save it
4. Reset the person’s SSO password:
   • The SSO “Reset Password” security authorization is required to perform this function
   • Take note of the one-time password in case the person does not receive it via email
5. Add any any required SSO applications to the person’s SSO menu:
   • The SSO “User Links Management” security authorization is required to perform this function
   • If you have this feature in your SSO admin role, you can do this yourself
   • Or, another SSO admin at your institution with “User Links Management” can add the application’s to the individual’s menu
   • Finally, you may send an email to support@tamus.edu asking Support to add the applications
