2. Once you have logged in, click the link in the menu at the top of the screen for **Account Sponsorship**. You may be prompted to accept another Duo 2FA prompt.

## Viewing your sponsored accounts

From the [Account Sponsorship Application](https://netid.uconn.edu/affiliate/) homepage, select the account type you are interested in viewing (Affiliate, NetIDwork, or NetIDadmin). You will be brought to a page with a table of the accounts you are currently sponsoring. The options available to you will depend on your affiliation and what access has been granted to you.

## Sponsoring new accounts

The Account Sponsorship Application allows permanent employees to sponsor up to 10 affiliate, 10 student employee (NetIDwork), and 10 privileged access (NetIDadmin) accounts at any given time. If you need to sponsor more than 10 accounts of a single type, you can request a limit increase from the ITS Technology Support Center.

> ℹ️ If you have a large number of accounts that you need to create, you can request access to a bulk upload utility by emailing [techsupport@uconn.edu](mailto:techsupport@uconn.edu).

1. On the Account Sponsorship Application homepage, select the **account type** you wish to create.
2. Click the blue “New” button to sponsor a new account.
3. Fill in the required information. Each account type requires a different set of information, so use the instructions on the page to complete the form.
4. The NetID will be created instantly. The mailbox will be created the following morning, if requested.
5. If the accounts need shared calendar or mailbox access, please email [techsupport@uconn.edu](mailto:techsupport@uconn.edu) with the NetID(s) and the access(es) needed.
