Activation of the master account

01 How can I activate my master account as an employee?

These instructions will guide you through the creation of a new master account and the creation or renewal of an existing Azure account. All other existing accounts cannot currently be edited and are therefore not changed.
 

Creating the new master account

You have been given a piece of paper by your supervisor on which you will find both the website to be used and your token.
Open https://service.it.hs-hannover.de/en/services/aktuelle-it-anleitungen/ - there you will find all the instructions you need to set it up.
Please note that the tokens issued are only valid for 60 minutes after entry. You must set up your account within this period. You can see the corresponding timer in the Account Manager at the top right.
  1. Open https://accounts.hs-hannover.de/token

You are now logged in to your Account Manager. You will now see your old ID and receive a message that your user ID needs to be renamed.

  1. Click on Collect to collect your Master Account. Read the instructions carefully so that you can check the boxes "I understand" and "I will remember my username and password". Your password will be assigned in the next step.

You now have the option of creating your own password. The password for the master account must contain at least one number. For security reasons, we recommend using a password generator at this point, e.g. Keypass.

  1. Click on Set password.
  2. Confirm your password with OK.
