If you are adding someone as a direct member to a Special Purpose Account (SPA) or assisting them with troubleshooting a technical issue, knowing your own or someone else's CalNetUID can be helpful. This information is available through the Campus Directory. Users can set privacy settings within the directory to customize what personal information is available publicly, only to CalNet authenticated users, or to noone. If you cannot find the listing you are looking for you can ask a member of your team with CalNet Admin Tool access to search for the user, or open a ticket with calnet-admin@berkeley.edu.
To locate a user's CalNetUID:
- Navigate to the Campus Directory.
- Fill in / change the fields as follows:
- Search On: Last Name, First Name
- Searching by name is preferable because many users do not have their @berkeley.edu address publicly listed.
- Population: All
- Search Term: Last Name, First name
- Ex. Turvy, Hurbert
- Search On: Last Name, First Name
- Click on the Search button.
- Click on the applicable name.
- If no results appear, the name may be either unlisted or misspelled.
- Locate the Details for: header at the top.
- To the right, (UID : ########) should be visible.
