Administrator’s tasks

The Gaspar admininstrator is in charge of creating Gaspar accounts for people accredited in his unit.

He can also update the user’s password, manage Active Directory synchronization, consult the transactions’ log and activate Strong Authentication for his unit’s users.

If you have any questions about the SCIPER number, please read SCIPER FAQ (intranet).

The password must:

  • be long enough, 10 characters minimum,
  • include at least one character from each of the lowercase, uppercase, numbers and special character sets. Note: Gaspar only supports the ASCII character set (no accent for example),
  • not contain any information from your identity record (name, given name, birth date, username, etc…),
  • not contain words or sequence of words out of the dictionary.
  • Log in on Gaspar
  • Choose Management in the tabs’ list
  • Press on
The corresponding list of units will be displayed.

To create a Gaspar account for someone, the following conditions must be met:

  • the person must be accredited in a unit of EPFL (status of staff, guest or non EPFL)
  • the user performing the operation must have the “administration of Gaspar accounts” right for the relevant unit

Then follow this procedure.

To see the actions performed on a Gaspar account, click on the “Show logs” tab.

The history of actions performed will be displayed.

The user is the only one knowing the password, and so the only way to trigger the synchronization for the Administrator is to set a new password.

  1. log in on Gaspar
  2. choose the Management tab
  3. the date is set to 08/04/2014, but it is possible to change it. If you manage several units, you can choose the unit in the drop-down list
  4. press on “extract csv” button

The list is available with the following parameters:

  • nom (name)
  • numéro Sciper (Sciper number)
  • adresse email (email address)
  • date de création du compte (date of account’s creation)
  • date de dernière mise à jour du mot de passe (date of latest password update)
