As an MSU team member, you will receive an MSU NetID. This will be your login or username for many systems you access. However, the password used for authentication may depend on the specific system that is being signed in to. The table below groups systems into the following categories, depending on the password that must be used when logging in:

  • RHS password (e.g: for signing in to computers computers on the RHS network)
  • MSU NetID password (e.g: for signing in to MSU Email or EBS)
  • Independent/Unique (e.g: the password is set separately for this particular system)
