People OU Affiliations (berkeleyEduAffiliations)

The berkeleyEduAffiliations (ucbaffiliations) attributes identify the affiliations associated with every user's CalNet account. These attributes are multi-valued. Values are grouped according to broad categories: Employee, Student, Affiliate, and Guest. A user can have multiple affiliations, such as a student who is also an employee.

When an affiliation is no longer active, it is marked as FORMER-*. Former-affiliation information is retained for a specific "grace period," determined by the type of affiliation the user had. See the Grace Periods (KB0015537) page for additional details.

The berkeleyEduAffiliations attribute is publicly available to registered application binds and can be used to make authoritative decisions. Affiliation values can occasionally change based on campus needs. Review the Deprecated Affiliations section below for outdated values.
