Create account

guide

This page explains how to create accounts that were not set up automatically.

Many accounts, such as the RWTH Single Sign-On account, are created automatically during registration.

Depending on your status (e.g. employee or student), you can set up additional accounts later (e.g. RWTH Collaboration or library card).

Step 1
Open the IdM Selfservice.

Step 2
Click Accounts and Passwords.

Step 3
Click Create Account.

Step 4
In the table, select the account you want to create, then click Next.

Screenshot of the IdM Selfservice. "Create Account" is the second item in the expandable section "Accounts and Passwords". The page itself is described in step 4.

Step 5
Follow the instructions on the screen. The process may vary depending on your account.

 

Please note

As long as the power outlet in the account overview next to the account is still orange and unplugged, the account is not yet active. Once the outlet turns green and is plugged in, the account is active and you can set a password.
