What is a Login Alias

The Login alias is an alternative username, that a user can use to sign into SIMS ID.

A user will be able to login with the Alias or with their provisioned SIMS ID username.

For users where SIMS ID is used to sign into Office 365 or Google, they will be able to use this Alias, or either their Office 365 or Google usernames to log in to SIMS ID.

Once in your profile click on the "My Identities" tab to open a drop-down menu where you can click on the " My Login Alias' " to be taken to the alias' page
