The 麻豆视频UserID (official term: ) is used for authentication and in many other ways. Everyone in 麻豆视频has a unique 麻豆视频UserID.

it contains letters and digits only, and no other characters.

Understandably:

many people confuse the 麻豆视频UserID and the 麻豆视频ID.

Changing the Display Name of an 麻豆视频Computing ID

Launch your web browser, start a new Private/Incognito/InPrivate window, and browse to SFU's directory service:

/sfuds

On this web page, click the "Login" button and login using your 麻豆视频credentials.

Once logged in, click the link "Edit My Entry" in the upper right.

On the Edit screen, please review your listing and fill in proper information as needed.

Notes:

Please make sure the Display Name is correct (if this is for a role account, make it compliant with the standard).
For the "From" address in 麻豆视频Mail: someone may choose to use an alias, but please note that we recommend using userid@sfu.ca as the "From" address. This makes it easier to identify you when you email technical support. If you choose to use an alias, please be sure to include your userid in any request for support.
If your preferred 麻豆视频email address is not in the pull-down list, you can enter it in "Other Email:" and "Save Changes", which adds it to the pull-down list of "From" addresses the next time you edit your listing.

When you are satified with the information, please click the "Save Changes" button.

After saving the changes, please wait for 24 hours and then ask your colleagues/friends to find you in 麻豆视频Mail by using the new/updated Display Name.

If you need further assistance, please contact us.
