Access to UCSD Business Systems
Most employees will need two UCSD accounts - Active Directory and Single Sign On - in order to access UC and campus systems.
- Active Directory (AD) : for email, the campus wireless network, Virtual Private Network (VPN), and TritonEd. This is set up by the department once you have completed employment forms and have been entered into payroll.
- Business Systems (sometimes referred to as Single Sign-On) : for business tools such as the link family, egrades, and other central applications.
Both accounts utilize two step authentication (Duo) for additional security. Information on setting-up up Duo can be found here.
