ISIMA/LIMOS Account✯

The ISIMA/LIMOS allows the creation of local accounts for users who do not have a UCA account. This ISIMA/LIMOS account grants access to ISIMA/LIMOS resources only.

UCA resources such as the ENT, WiFi (Eduroam), and printers are not accessible with an ISIMA/LIMOS account

Historically, ISIMA/LIMOS accounts are:

  • prefixed with iia_
  • followed by the first 2 letters of the first name
  • followed by the first 8 letters of the last name

Who can have an ISIMA/LIMOS account✯

  • Volunteer teachers
  • Substitute teachers called in at the last moment
  • Researchers collaborating with LIMOS research

Creating an ISIMA/LIMOS account✯

Account creation requests must always come from a permanent ISIMA/LIMOS member.

Via my.isima.fr (recommended/quick)✯

  • Each teacher-researcher has access to an account creation request form at https://my.isima.fr/cri/ldap/user/choose

    Please use the UCA and ISIMA/LIMOS user search engine before submitting a creation request to avoid duplicates

    • To create an ISIMA/LIMOS account, the following information is required:
      • last name
      • first name
      • email
      • description (used to indicate the account creation context and the origin of the user to be created)
      • expiration date
      • groups (which will determine the ISIMA/LIMOS services accessible to the user being created)

  • Each request is then submitted for validation to the ISIMA/LIMOS CRI service.

  • Once validated, the user is created and a password initialization link, along with a summary of their group memberships, is automatically sent to the email address provided above.

Your account creation requests and created users are available via the account creation request management interface at https://my.isima.fr/cri/ldap/demands

Via the ticket manager (deprecated)✯

Send an email to your ISIMA contact requesting them to create a ticket on support.isima.fr with the following information:

  • your name, first name, and contact email

  • your needs for the lab session, for example:

  • I need to work from my laptop, use the projector, and have internet access

  • I need access to a machine with the same environment as the student machines
  • ...

The IT service will then create an appropriate account for your needs and communicate it to you by email.
