User Identification Number

[Kena Sugrue]

Auser identification or user ID is an entity used to identify a user on a website, software, system or within a generic IT environment. It is the most common authentication mechanism used within computing systems.

Regardless of the type of user and their rights, each user has a unique identification that distinguishes it from other users. System administrators use these IDs to assign privileges, track user activity and manage overall operations on a particular system, network or application.

Company ID numbers are issued to employers sequentially. Numbers issued today are seven digits while older numbers can be four or five digits (ours, assigned in 2007, is 40133, for example). It is not the same as a User ID number, which is the four letters and four digits identifier assigned to every individual user of the system.

Associated with each user name is a user identification (UID) number.The UID number identifies the user name to any system on which the user attemptsto log in, and it is used by systems to identify the owners of files and directories.If you create user accounts for a single individual on a number of differentsystems, always use the same user name and user ID. In that way, the usercan easily move files between systems without ownership problems.

UID numbers must be a whole number less than or equal to 2147483647.They are required for both regular user accounts and special system accounts.The following table lists the UID numbers reserved for user accounts and systemaccounts.

Although UID numbers 0 through 99 are reserved, you can add a user withone of these numbers. However, do not use them for regular user accounts.By definition, root always has UID 0, daemon has UID 1,and pseudo-user bin has UID 2. In addition, you shouldgive uucp logins and pseudo user logins, like who, tty, and ttytype, lowUIDs so they fall at the beginning of the passwd file.

As with user (login) names, you should adopt a scheme to assign uniqueUIDs. Some companies assign unique employee numbers, and administrators adda number to the employee number to create a unique UID number for each employee.

NFS server and client code truncates large UIDs and GIDsto 16 bits. This can create security problems if SunOS 4.0 and compatiblemachines are used in an environment where large UIDs and GIDs are being used.SunOS 4.0 and compatible systems require a patch.

Users in this category using the cpio command(using -H odc format) or the pax -x cpiocommand to copy files see an error message returned for each file, and theUIDs and GIDs are set to nobody in the archive.

A 12-digit number, such as 012345678901, that uniquely identifies an AWS account. Many AWS resources include the account ID in their Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). The account ID portion distinguishes resources in one account from the resources in another account. If you're an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user, you can sign in to the AWS Management Console using either the account ID or account alias. While account IDs, like any identifying information, should be used and shared carefully, they are not considered secret, sensitive, or confidential information.

An alpha-numeric identifier, such as 79a59df900b949e55d96a1e698fbacedfd6e09d98eacf8f8d5218e7cd47ef2be, that is an obfuscated form of the AWS account ID. You can use this ID to identify an AWS account when granting cross-account access to buckets and objects using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). You can retrieve the canonical user ID for your AWS account as either the root user or an IAM user.

Do not provide your AWS credentials (including passwords and access keys) to a third party that needs your AWS account identifiers to share AWS resources with you. Doing so would give them the same access to the AWS account that you have.

You can find the AWS account ID using either the AWS Management Console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). In the console, the location of the account ID depends on whether you're signed in as the root user or an IAM user. The account ID is the same whether you're signed in as the root user or an IAM user.

If you don't see the Security credentials option, you might be signed in as a federated user with an IAM role, instead of as an IAM user. In this case, look for the entry Account and the account ID number next to it.

You can find the canonical user ID for your AWS account using the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI. The canonical user ID for an AWS account is specific to that account. You can retrieve the canonical user ID for your AWS account as the root user, a federated user, or an IAM user.

A unique identifier (UID) is a numeric or alphanumeric string that is associated with a single entity within a given system. UIDs make it possible to address that entity, so that it can be accessed and interacted with.

Unique identifiers can be assigned to anything that needs to be distinguished from other entities, such as individual users, companies, machines or websites. These distinctive values are usually assigned depending on the needs of the specific application, but can either be randomly auto-generated with an algorithm, allocated incrementally or chosen by the user.

The most widely known use of unique identifiers occurs when users register for a website or service. Customers are often provided with a username or user ID that allows the company they are registering with to differentiate them within their user logs. These identifiers are then also used for security and log on purposes.

In a database or spreadsheet, unique identifiers may be designated as a specific column or field to help make sorting and filtering through information easier. This also helps trace information back to a specific user or entity within the system.

Another popular application of UIDs is in a physical supply chain. Manufacturers often mark individual pieces of a larger component, such as computer parts, or an entire product with a serial number. This allows users to trace back the origin of the product in case of a malfunction, defect or recall.

Within the Department of Defense (DoD), there are three related acronyms associated with the standard of government property. The first is the Item Unique Identification (IUID) Registry. This registry stores information for the DoD about how to track, maintain and deploy government assets. Items are added to the IUID Registry if their acquisition cost is over five thousand dollars, they are mission critical or they are high risk.

To better ensure the confidentiality of your Social Security Number, the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District has implemented a User Identification Number. This number does not replace your Social Security Number as an identification number in the College records and Financial Aid requirements, but it provides us with an alternate unique number to use for reporting, correspondence with you, and for accessing your records within the Colleges' Student Information System.

You may still use your Social Security Number for all transactions with the Colleges, or you may use your new User ID. Faculty and Staff can use either number to access your records, but only the User ID will display on their computer screens, attendance collection systems, grade rosters, and reports.

All students are required to carry a valid photo identification card with the most current validation sticker. This card is essential for use of Library, computer lab, bookstore and other campus services. Cards may be obtained at the Online Service Center, Building 1600, Second Floor, and should be carried at all times.

The new User Identification Number is a unique number beginning with the letter "W" and an additional eight (8) digits. Your User ID should be entered in CLASS-Web as all 9 digits with no dashes or spaces. (e.g., W12345678).

Below are links to the electronic process for requesting Recipient Identification Numbers (RINs). This electronic process eliminates the current paper process for requesting a RIN. A simple registration as a user is required prior to requesting RINs electronically.

Send an email message to the DoIT Help Desk technicians at DoIT.H...@illinois.gov requesting that your password be reset. Your message will need to include your name, the name of your agency, your User ID and a phone number you can be reached at within the next 2 hours. Someone from the DoIT Help Desk will then contact you and assist with the password reset.

You can NOW reach DHS E-Rin Help Desk faster and easier via email at =29757, choose Provider tab, and request a change in a DHS Social Services case e.g., change customer's last name, first name, DOB, SSN, address, or multiple RIN issue.

If I named the image files the same as the number they contain (1001.jpg, 1002.jpg, etc), can I upload them to a collection, then use a custom formula to add the filename for the next available barcode image to any new user record?

In my case, I have a term assignment for students that includes a minimum number of observations and a minimum number of identifications. The identification component is important for instilling the value and creating the habit of giving back to the iNat community. Searching for and determining observations that the students feel comfortable identifying also gives them practice in seeing the data submitted by other users, how they can find relevant data using the search functions, and promotes critical thinking in their research to determine the correct identification.
