General User Information The following information is an attempt to provide users with a basic understanding about accessing JHED. For more detailed information, please see the JHED support pages by clicking the Help tab on the JHED website. How do I obtain a JHED login ID and password? - JHED Login ID: Your JHED LID (Login ID) is automatically generated by the system when your account is created. You can find your JHED LID by visiting jhed.johnshopkins.edu and performing a search for your name.
- JHED Password: You create your own JHED password by visiting jhed.johnshopkins.edu and clicking the login tab. Use the First Time Login option.
Password Rules: 1. The minimum length of a password is 8 characters, 2 of which must be non-alpha characters. 2. Passwords will expire after 180 days and a history of the last 4 passwords is maintained. 3. Users are required to wait at least 30 minutes before changing password again. 4. Ten failed login attempts with in ten minutes will lock the account for 30 minutes. How do I change my password? After logging into JHED, click on the "Change Password" link in the JHED Functions section. You will be required to enter in your old password, the new password, and then re-type the new password to verify it. Where does my directory information come from? JHED represents data from several systems of record (SOR) such as: Individuals who are not included in a system of record can be added to JHED by a JHED Department Administrator who will manage their data. JHED Department Administrators are often those people that handle Human Resources and/or Payroll functions within their department. How do I make changes to my JHED information? After logging into JHED, click on the "MyInfo" tab to view the tabs showing your personal information as well as your affiliations. Information marked with a red asterisk is provided by the system of record (SOR) and can only be changed at the SOR. Once updated there, the SOR will send the update to JHED. All other fields can be edited on the MyInfo page, or by your JHED Administrator via the Department Admin Toolkit. How can I determine what information in my record is visible to others? Login to JHED and click the "Set Online Visibility" link in the JHED Functions section or click the "Online Visibility" link from the MyInfo page. A checked box indicates that this field will appear in the view that it falls under (intranet or internet). Grayed checkboxes cannot be changed -- these reflect requirements set by the Hopkins institutions. Click the "Save Visibility" button to save any changes that you make. How are accounts removed from JHED? Accounts maintained by a System of Record (SOR):
The systems of record (SOR) that provide data to JHED will send an indication that the user no longer has an affiliation with them. Some SORs will send a termination date and others will simply stop sending the record. If a user only has one affiliation, then the termination issued by the SOR that provides their data will cause the JHED account to be flagged for deletion. If a user has more than one affiliation, their JHED account will not be flagged for deletion because their record is being supplied by another SOR(s). The affiliation that is being terminated will be removed from the record.
Ad hoc (Sponsored) Records:
When a JHED Department Administrator sponsors an account in JHED, they must provide an expiration date for the account which cannot exceed 6 months. If a SOR sends data for that account, then it is no longer ad hoc and the expiration date is cleared. If the account remains ad hoc, then the sponsor must renew the account every six months. They will use the JHED Admin Toolkit to adjust the expiration date as needed. A JHED Department Admin can initiate a deletion of an ad hoc record by adjusting the expiration date. The account will remain in the 7 day deletion queue and then will expire out of the directory at the end of that time. |
