Reserving a Duck ID for a New Employee

Overview

Departmental HR representatives can reserve a Duck ID username for their new employees through the Duck ID Account Management System. Reservations will no longer be done through PWADUCK in Banner. However, access to this functionality is still granted by request using the FIS/HRIS/AR User Profile Form linked on How to get or update Banner access.

Previous Duck ID account

If your new employee previously had a Duck ID account, their previous Duck ID will automatically be reserved for them. In this case, you will see the previous Duck ID appear as reserved on their profile in the Duck ID Account Management System. You will not be able to remove or change the reserved Duck ID for a returning user. If there are circumstances that require a new Duck ID to be used, please submit a Campus Access & Support Request for assistance.

Viewing reserved name and account claim status

1. Login to Duck ID Account Management
2. Under Other Users, click View and update profile
3. Search by 95# or full name
4. Click on the result you want to view

If you do not find the person you are looking for, then the Duck ID system has not yet picked up an active employee record for them. New employees will be available in Duck ID the day after they have an active employee record in Banner.

Available information

• Duck ID field: Shows their current Duck ID.  If it is blank, this person has not yet claimed their account.
• Reserved Duck ID: Shows if a username is currently reserved.
