Contractor/Temp: Account Activation

Introduction

This article describes the steps for activating contractor temp accounts once they are approved and created.  The account sponsor will receive an email from the account provisioning system with a link to retrieve the temporary contractor's account username and initial password.  The sponsor must log in via the emailed link and retrieve the username and password, and then provide it to the contractor to activate the account by following the steps below.  Only Pace staff or faculty sponsors can request contractor temp accounts for guests and contractors who need advanced access to internal resources.  For instructions on how to request a contractor temp account, please refer to the Contractor/Temp Account Requests article.

Note: If you are a student, faculty, staff, retiree or alumni, who needs to activate your Pace Portal account for the first time, please refer to the Account Activation for Students, Faculty, Staff, and Alumni article.
