Adding Identifiers to External User Records

Alma role needed: User Administrator or User Manager

Review and update the user’s record with a University ID number (if necessary):

When adding a unique identification number to an external user’s record in Alma, (User Details > Identifiers tab > Add Identifier drop down menu), the user’s University ID should be added to the user’s record as external data (if not already present).

Steps:

1. You should verify that the “Add as an external” checkbox is checked.
2. Identifier Type “University ID” should be selected and the user’s University ID should be entered in the “Value” box. 
3. Click Add and Close to save the identifier.
4. In the main User Details display, if the University ID was successfully added, a green check mark should be present for the University ID under the External Data column. Click the Save button.
