In order to maintain the integrity and security of UMB’s research platforms, a required update to CICERO sign-in processes is forthcoming. The local log-in option will no longer be available once this transition is complete. All individuals utilizing CICERO will require a UMID for single sign-on (SSO).
From today CICERO account creation for affiliate research team members will be accomplished as part of this new process. Principal Investigators will be responsible for sponsoring and initiating the process for UMID acquisition through the Community System for all affiliate research team members. The instructions for this process are at the bottom. Once this process is completed the CICERO administrator will be notified and a CICERO account will be created for the affiliate research team member and they will be emailed login instructions.
For affiliate research team members who already have an existing CICERO account and use the Local Login option to access CICERO the same process will be used to obtain a UMID. Once the process is initiated and the affiliate research team member accepts the self-registration and completes the UMID setup the CICERO administrator will be notified and the affiliate research team member’s CICERO account will be associated with their UMID and they will be emailed login instructions.
Process Instructions: Self Registration for Affiliate Researchers for CICERO Access
Please direct any issues or questions about UMID setup or resetting UMID passwords to the CITS helpdesk, 410-706-4357.
