Are UFID numbers for organizations different than UFID numbers for people?
A. Yes. Organization UFID numbers were initially set up to equal the full eight character Authority Code value (e.g., College of Medicine Dean’s Office UFID is HC29-0100). This value is commonly used by, and can be obtained from, each unit’s administrative staff. Organization UFID numbers will eventually be randomly assigned values consisting of both alphabetic and numeric characters. UFIDs assigned to people will continue to be restricted to numeric characters (i.e., zero through nine) as previously described.
