All employees need an FU account in order to work /e.g. for access to centrally managed computers, email, Webex, administrative IT systems and use of the telephone). This account is not only used for authentification, but also provides authorization as an employee, granting further rights in some systems. 

New employees usually receive an email 1-2 days after signing their contract with a link to activate their account online. If this has not happened by the time you start to work, please contact your relevant department office. 

Employees who are also FU students need an employee account in addition to their student account, as the two accounts have different permissions. 

Once you have created your account and email address, please inform your relevant administrative office so that your account can be activated for the various institute resources.
