This page explains how to redeem a role coupon to activate a role.

 

Please note:

Many roles underlie specific conditions, e.g., the linking of person data in Identity Management with the data in the RWTH Person directory. If you do not meet one of the conditions for the role, you will receive an error message with corresponding details. The coupon stays valid. If you meet the conditions before its expiration date (14 days), you can redeem the coupon again.

When your role administrator assigns you a role, you receive a coupon code via email. You then need to redeem this code in ConnectMe.

Step 1
Open the link from the email.

Step 2
You will then be redirected to the ConnectMe page. The system automatically fills in the coupon code field. Click Next.

Step 3
Check that the role and organization next to "ConnectMe" are correct. Click Next.

Step 5

You have now redeemed your role coupon. You can close the window.

You can view your assigned roles in the IdM Selfservice under "Roles". Additionally, under the tab Options, you can decide whether or not you would like to receive an email notification when changes are made to your own roles.

Please note:

  •  It may take up to 24 hours for your role to be transferred to the system for which it is needed. Only then can you use the system fully.
  • Role coupons are valid for 14 days. If your coupon has expired, please ask your role administrator for a new one.

Additional Information
