Wie kann ich eine "persönliche Kennung" in eine "Funktionskennung" umwandeln und umgekehrt?

"Functional account" and "personal account" are types of LRZ accounts. The article What are the types of LRZ accounts? summarises the accounts types. The type of account should only be edited with good reason, e.g. if the associated mailbox is obviously used as a functional mailbox (secretary's office, dean's office,...).

As a master user, you can convert personal accounts into functional accounts yourself in the IDM portal under "Account | view/modify", item "Account's owner", if the LRZ services and resources used for the account permit this.

A personal account must fulfill the following requirements in order to be converted into a functional account:

  • It is not administered externally by LMU, TUM, HM, HSWT or another university (not "imported").
  • Its owner must not already be the owner of another function account.
  • Your owner must not already be the owner of a second or third personal account.
  • It must not have already been merged with an imported account.
  • It must not have master user permission.


The reverse procedure (conversion of functional account → personal account) is not possible. In exceptional cases, please contact your LRZ advisor.
