ONID - Sponsor an ONID Account

Issue/Question

• What is a sponsored ONID account?
• How do I sponsor an ONID account?

Environment

• Oregon State University
• ONID

Explanation

Sponsoring an ONID account is a way to provide an ONID account for a person who is not currently eligible for one. An employee in a department "sponsors" the person so they may have an active ONID account. You cannot sponsor your own account.  Account sponsorship does not guarantee access to services.

Sponsored ONID accounts are eligible to use the OSU VPN server, and can be used to login to websites such as Box, OSU Drupal, and OSU Wordpress. Note that additional access requests for services may be required.

Sponsored ONID accounts require Duo two-step login.
