UMS User Account

The UMS User Account is the foundational identity used across the University of Maine System (UMS) to access essential technology services such as Brightspace, MaineStreet, UMS Email, Microsoft 365, and the myCampus Portal. Your UMS User Account is also known as your UMS ID and is the basis for your @maine.edu email address.

This service encompasses the full management of the identity lifecycle, including the infrastructure and identity management systems required to provision, maintain, and retire accounts. Everyone affiliated with UMS - students, faculty, staff, and certain affiliates - has a UMS User Account created as part of their onboarding process.
