Research Account and Resource Management

Depending on which credentials are used for authentication HiPerGator accounts can be classified as UF internal, InCommon federated, and external accounts. Internal and federated accounts use GatorLink or federated institutional credentials for authentication. A prospective HiPerGator user who doesn’t have UF GatorLink or an account with an institution that is a member of InCommon Federation must request an external GatorLink account. This also applies to current HiPerGator users who will be leaving UF if they will fall into the external user category when their GatorLink account expires.
