If you would like your external (non-UI) collaborator to have an account on IDAS, you must first obtain a HawkID for that person, and then your collaborator must request and obtain an IDAS account. If you are using IDAS for teaching your course, you can also add your collaborator to your IDAS class environment.
Step 1: Invite your collaborator to create a HawkID
If your collaborator is a former employee or student of the University of Iowa, please do not invite your collaborator to request a HawkID. Their HawkID will be re-activated as part of the account setup process. Skip to step 2 below.
Visit the HawkID request form: https://iam.uiowa.edu/accounts
At this screen, choose to send a HawkID Invitation:
At this screen, enter the email address and an optional message, then click the Invitation Options button:
In the Invitation Options, enter your email address in the Email Notifications field so that you will receive an email when your collaborator completes HawkID setup:
Then click Send. Your collaborator will receive an email detailing how to obtain their HawkID.
Step 2: IDAS account for your collaborator
Once your collaborator has a HawkID, they should request an IDAS account by filling out this form: https://workflow.uiowa.edu/form/idas-account.
- In the form, your collaborator should choose "Other" for "University Association" and then list you as the sponsor.
- After your collaborator submits the form, it will route to you (the sponsor) for your approval. Once you have approved the request, it will be routed to ITS - Research Services to process. Your collaborator will receive an automatic email when the account has been created.
- More information about our standard process for requesting IDAS accounts can be found here.
Step 3 (optional): Add your collaborator to your IDAS class environment
If you are using IDAS for teaching your course, please follow the instructions here to add your collaborator to your IDAS class environment.
