Personal account
In order to use the full range of services offered by the Bielefeld IT Service Centre (BITS), an account is required. The activation is different for students and employees (see below).
Depending on the service, different access data (login names and passwords) are required.
Scope of services
An account can have several accounts for the various IT services. The PRISMA central identity management system(https://prisma.uni-bielefeld.de) is used to create and manage accounts.
Provision for:
- Students
Enrollment automatically unlocks access to the IT services. In order to use the BITS services, the BITS login name is used. The personal user name and the university e-mail address are stored in the PRISMA portal under "My data".
Where are my access data for PRISMA?
This data can be found on the confirmation of provisional enrollment or in the welcome e-mail from bissupport@uni-bielefeld.de. This e-mail will be sent when the transfer of the semester fee has been booked. With the matriculation number and the BITS password you can log in at https://prisma.uni-bielefeld.de.- Employees
An account with the standard accesses for Active Directory (PC login, e-mail) and network access (WLAN, VPN) is automatically created. At some faculties, separate authorizations are also required.
New employees receive the access data for the PRISMA portal with their UniCard letter. There, the BITS user name and the personal e-mail address, for example, can be viewed.
If you have any questions about setting up or using the account, the respective IT supervisor of the faculties and departments will be happy to help.
