Microsoft 365 - Applications that Microsoft 365 service accounts can access using NetID login

Many applications/services around UW-Madison campus use NetID Login service as a means to authenticate into them. Microsoft 365 service accounts may be used to access these applications/services directly. If you need to know the service account credentials, contact your department administrator.

Important: If you navigate to other UW-Madison applications that use NetID login for authentication without first logging out, you will be accessing those applications as the Office 365 service account.

Microsoft 365 service accounts and NetID login

The applications you can access when authenticated with your M365 service account may be different than the applications you can access with your personal NetID. Below is the result of testing by the UW-Madison Microsoft 365 team. It is intended to provide Microsoft 365 users with information about what behaviors to expect when authenticated to NetID login with an Microsoft 365 service account.

If you are a service administrator and would like information about your application to be added to this doc, please contact the DoIT Help Desk.
