Account Affiliations

Tags account

Geneseo provides services based on account affiliations.

This page details those base affiliations and the CIT-maintained Active Directory groups—which include overrides—that applications and third-party systems should use to query them.

 

eduPersonAffiliation

eduPersonAffiliation is defined by REFEDS and we follow their guidelines, though there is a great deal of leeway allowed in how these are defined. Order refers to how we determine your eduPersonPrimaryAffiliation which must be a single value.

Note that many accounts will have multiple affiliations.
