Setting Up an Identity Account

(Overview)

When you first qualify for an identity account, you receive an automated "invite" email from the Identity Hub system at either your Primary Work Email address or your Primary Home Email address (in Workday). If you did not receive this email, and you think you need one, please contact us.

The link in the email is valid for 30 days. If it has already expired when you click it, an email with a new link will be automatically sent to you. You do not need to request another link.

The email link takes you to a process to set up your Identity Account. The process can usually be finished within 30 minutes.

Below is a walk-through of the onboarding process for new SIL staff and partners. This which will guide them through creating a password, adding alternate contact and recovery information and configuring 2-Step Verification (2SV).

New users are sent an "invite" link to their work email address as well as a personal email address if HR puts one in the personnel system. This link automatically authenticates the user and places them into the workflow. The link is valid for 30 days; if link is expired when accessed, a new one will be emailed to the user; the user does not need to submit another form.

The workflow can normally be finished within 30 minutes.

View the series of slides below demonstrating the initial setup process. (Use the ">" option; the "play" option auto-advances quickly)

IdP Profile Workflow (2019)

Note: The "What if you forget your password" step in the onboarding process requires you to use the green "+" icon to add at least one alternate address before using the Continue option.

Similar to many other sites and services we are adding an occasional profile review screen during login. Every six months we’ll ask users to review their 2SV methods and every twelve months for password recovery methods.
