People OU Affiliations

berkeleyEduAffiliations (ucbaffiliations) attributes identify the affiliations associated with every user's CalNet account

berkeleyEduAffiliations are multi-valued. Values are grouped according to broad categories: Employee, Student, Affiliate and Guest. A user can have multiple affiliations, such as a student who is also an employee.

When an affiliation is no longer active, the affiliation is marked as FORMER-*. Former-affiliation information is retained for a specific length of time, (a "grace period"), determined by the type of affiliation(s) the user had. See Grace Periods for additional details

The berkeleyEduAffiliations attribute is publicly available and can be used by any campus application to make authoritative decisions.

Affiliation values can occasionally change based on campus needs. Check this page for updates, and review the Deprecated Affiliations section, below for outdated values.

*** GUEST-TYPE-POTENTIAL HIRE is an affiliation used by the Academic Personnel Office. It does not give access to a CalNet ID, email, or the ability to log in.

Determining if a User is a FORMER-affiliate

A FORMER-* affiliation is an indication that the user used to have a given affiliation,  but no longer does.  For example, a FORMER-EMPLOYEE is assigned to a record where HR is no longer asserting any current employee roles.  FORMER-* affiliations are a convenience for consumers of LDAP who need to understand a person’s historical identity.

Determining if a User is a DELEGATE

Delegate access allows active students at UC Berkeley to grant access to certain aspects of their student account. Delegates can be parents, guardians, spouses, or any other person the student wishes.

Students have the ability to grant permission for delegates to view enrollment information, enrollment information plus grades, and/or financial information (e.g. pay bills, view financial aid). This allows parents or guardians to pay a student's tuition/fees, view enrollments, view grades, or any combination of the three.

Example LDAP Filter

The following partial LDAP syntax gives an example of filtering for all the current people on campus, excluding the retirees that have paid for access to bMail. It also honors the standard CalNet Grace Periods:

(& (!(ucbtestidflag=true)) (objectClass=Person) (| (berkeleyeduaffiliations=EMPLOYEE-TYPE-*) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=STUDENT-TYPE-*) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-CONSULTANT) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-LBLOP STAFF) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-VISITING SCHOLAR) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-VOLUNTEER) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-HHMI RESEARCHER) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-VISITING STU RESEARCHER) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-LBL/DOE POSTDOC) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-TEMP AGENCY) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-COMMITTEE MEMBER) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-STAFF OF UC/OP/AFFILIATED ORGS) (berkeleyeduaffiliations=AFFILIATE-TYPE-INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR) ) )

The UCB LDAP structure changed on October 4, 2016. See LDAP Simplification and Standardization for more information.
