My Information

How to access Accred?

Any accredited person can consult at least their own accreditations and authorizations, but to consult other information:

  • An accreditor or administrative manager of a unit sees all accreditations and authorizations in their unit only;
  • An IT administrator sees all accreditations and authorizations in their unit only;
  • A unit manager sees all authorizations on their financial center only;
  • An RFF sees all authorizations on its financial center only;
  • All other role holders can see authorizations manipulated by their role within the scope of the role only;

Please contact the Service Desk [email protected] if your business needs require more extensive read access.

Who is my accreditor?

Go to accred.epfl.ch in See my own data and you can consult the list of your accreditors in the Accréditeurs tab

Students do not have an assigned accreditor. For all problems with accreditation, they must contact the student services counter ([email protected]) or Poseidon support ([email protected]).

What are my rights?

Go to accred.epfl.ch in See my own data and you can consult the list of your permissions in the Permissions tab

What are my roles?

And for the students?

Students do not have an assigned accreditor. For all problems with accreditation, they must contact the student services counter ([email protected]) or Poseidon support ([email protected]).

Can I delegate my role while I’m away?

In See my own data, go to the Substitutes tab and you can define a substitute for each role in each unit (who must benefit from a valid accreditation). The period can be:

  • a period with a start and end date (max 12 months)
  • during the absences announced in the absences2.epfl.ch application
  • permanent

Attention, for certain roles that give access to confidential or sensitive data, the substitute must have a substitute right that is subject to administrative approval. The procedure for appointing a substitute is then:

  • assign the right of substitution to the future substitute in the unit where the substitute will take place
  • wait for administrative approval
  • give the substitute as described above

The existing substitute rights are :

  • Accred – deputize Head of Cost Center holders (any level)
  • Accred – deputize Unit administrator holders
  • Accred – deputize HR Director holders
  • Accred – deputize HR Manager holders
  • Accred – deputize HR Assistant holders
