Faculty account

Tip: You can change your faculty password or find out your faculty login in the FI password change application.

Username (login)

The login is generated automatically based on your affiliation with the faculty at the time the account was created, in the following format:

• prijmeni – internal staff (contract);
• qprijmen – external staff (contract) or visitors;
• yprijmen – support staff (usually building management);
• xprijmen – internal students (FI programme);
• xučo – external students (from another faculty).

If you have had an account at FI recently, your login details will remain the same, even if your status has changed.

Faculty password

The faculty password is not the same as your IS secondary password!

When you create an account at FI, the password is set to your IS secondary password (provided it is strong enough), but from then on it is completely independent of it. Changing one of these passwords does not affect the other. You can change your faculty password:

• If you know your faculty login and password, use the Faculty Administration portal;
• if you know your IS username and primary password, use the FI password change application (you can also view your Faculty login here if you do not know it).

Who is eligible for a faculty account?

Eligibility for an account is granted to individuals who, according to IS data, meet at least one of the following conditions:

• students currently enrolled at the Faculty of Informatics
• students taking courses that require access to computer labs (an active access card is required), or for which the lecturer has explicitly requested it
• active employment under an employment contract or agreement at any of the faculty’s workplaces
• lecturers who teach a faculty course or whose course is scheduled to take place in a faculty building *
• membership of an ISaccess point that allows entry to computer labs and selected rooms via a card reader (ISIC) (an active access card is required)
• members of programme committees or programme and research councils

* – In this case, the account is created for the duration of the semester (teaching and examinations) and, in the case of consecutive semesters, also between them. An account is also provided even if the person is not teaching in the current semester but is teaching in the preceding and following semesters (i.e. ‘cross-semester’ teaching).

The account holder is notified of the creation of the account by email from fadmin@fi.muni.cz to the IS. If the right to the account is lost, an information email is sent approximately three weeks before it is cancelled. If your account is deactivated, you will lose access to all services associated with it. However, in justified cases, you may request that your emails be temporarily forwarded to another mailbox. You can view your account details in the Faculty Administration system under the ‘My Account’ section, via the ‘Overview’ link.

The information used to create or close accounts is synchronised from the Information System to the Faculty Administration twice a day.

My login does not match my affiliation with the Faculty of Informatics

Account records are retained for a certain period even after the account has been closed. Therefore, if you were from another faculty and enrolled on a course at the Faculty of Informatics (FI), you will be given the loginxuco, which will remain active even if you later, say after a year, become an employee or student at FI.

Staff or PhD students who were previously issued with a faculty account based on a different relationship with the faculty may request, via or, the creation of an additional email alias in the format , prijmeni@fi.muni.cz or , provided it is not already taken. However, the faculty login remains the same.

Where to report problems

If you believe you should have an active account but do not, please ensure you have a valid access card (e.g. ISIC) and then contact the relevant staff members:

If you are a student who has taken a break from your studies but are working on your final thesis and need a faculty account for this purpose, contact your supervisor. Your supervisor may contact fadmin@fi.muni.cz with a justified request and a proposed date until which the account’s validity should be extended.

If you are a lecturer, please contact the lecturer responsible for the module or the programme coordinator for the programme under which the module falls.

If you are a member of staff, you should raise the issue with your department head or the HR department.

Services using the faculty account

An active account gives you access to many faculty services – you can usually recognise them by their domain (something.fi.muni.cz). These include, in particular:

• Unix servers and workstations (e.g. aisa, anxur, nymfe*, luna*, etc.),
• Windows computers in theNTFI domain, such as workstations in classrooms or the ate terminal server,
• Personal websites,
• Access to FI email (SMTP, IMAP for addresses in the@fi.muni.czdomain),
• Faculty GitLab,
• The Stratus.FI virtualisation platform,
• Authentication to thewlan_fi wireless network (does not apply to eduroam),
• Faculty administration,
• Faculty VPN (does not apply to the university VPN),
• FI printers,
• and other services, details of which can be found in the Technical Information section on the faculty website.

These services use the Kerberos password-sharing system. This means that passwords are not stored on individual machines, but on a central server, which workstations/servers/services query via a secure protocol to verify the password’s validity during authentication.
