Profile Sharing on myUMBC

Profile Sharing on myUMBC How to safely share your academic information with others

Did you know that you can share your myUMBC profile with your parent, guardian, or whomever you wish without having to give out your password or login credentials?

Profile sharing allows them to have access to information that you see fit, whether that be grades, billing, financial aid, etc. This can be useful to allow them to see and access certain information, especially if you are not always around to show them or if you only want them to look at some information and not everything. You have complete control when using this feature, which means you can also revoke people’s access to information at any time.

To access profile sharing, you can click on your picture in the top right of your myUMBC page and select “Sharing”.

From here, the process is pretty straightforward. You should see instructions on how to share information with those who have an email address and a social account they can log in through, such as Google, Microsoft, or Amazon. This is also where you specify what information they will have access to. There is no limit to the number of people you share access to, but be careful and make sure it's people you trust with your information.

REMINDER: DO NOT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD OR CREDENTIALS WITH ANYONE

Group Feed Subscriptions - Groups can now subscribe to external content through the use of feeds. Simply enter in the web address to an RSS or Atom feed from your groups Tumblr or Blogger blog, and ever 15 minutes or so, myUMBC will check to see if you have any new content, and pull the items in as News. This is a great way for groups to continue to use the tools that best meet their needs, but still have their content shared with the greater UMBC community. In the near future, we'll allow you to subscribe to feeds from YouTube, Vimeo and Flickr.

Profile Settings Page - We've migrated over the Profile page from the old myUMBC to the new one, with a slight revamp of the layout, but nothing major. Access it by clicking your name, just like before!
New Frame - We've implemented a new frame for accessing content across the many, varied systems that encompass "myUMBC". This new frame keeps your dashboard and menus visible at all times, making it easy to navigate around. You can see an example by clicking on Student Contact Info from the Profile Settings page. (if you're a student of course)
Bug Fixes

Tons of fixes to the main Events, News, and Discussions pages so that they behave more consistently.
You can now enter web addresses longer than 60 characters.
Fixes a sneaky group invite bug that likes to reappear from time to time.
And as always... miscellaneous typos and fixes.

Stay tuned. Tomorrow, we're hoping to get Media out the door. Exciting!
