If collaborating with entities outside of Carolina where you will want them to access files or data locations requiring a UNC Onyen and password, then it is possible to secure an affiliate Onyen.

To begin this process visit Affiliates – UNC Research. This will secure a PID for an affiliate, which is a required first step before getting an Onyen.

Affiliates cannot authorize themselves; they must have a UNC-Chapel Hill sponsor. Please be aware that PID processing can take up to two business days.

After approval has been received by the HR Representative, the Affiliate can create an Onyen on the requested start date at the Onyen Services website.

Affiliates needing a UNC One Card must go to the One Card office, one business day after the HR Representative receives approval through ConnectCarolina, with a driver’s license, passport, or military ID for identification purposes. Please check with the One Card Office to see if there will be a $10 card fee. If the department would like to pay the fee, they may do so through ConnectCarolina.

One thing to consider is that Microsoft Teams is able to add collaborators without Onyens, and that data can be securely collaborated on through that.
