Brandeis Directory

Your directory administrator can edit directory information for your office. If your office doesn't have a directory administrator or a secondary administrator is needed, please contact Identity Management at help@brandeis.edu. Please secure approval from your department manager/chair or the current directory administrator before submitting your request to Identity Management.

In the Offices Directory Management tool, all offices are called departments. To request a new department (a stand-alone department, not associated with any existing department), please contact Identity Management at help@brandeis.edu. 

• Go to the department administration page, select your department and scroll to the bottom of the page.

• In the New Subdepartment text field, enter the name for the new subdepartment and click the Add button.

• Once you've added the new subdepartment, you'll be taken to the page where you can edit that new subdepartment.

Offices Directory administrators can edit department information as well as directory information for staff and faculty assigned to their department.

• Go to the department administration page and select your department, or search for the person's last name.

• Select the person you wish you edit.

• Make your updates under User Information and click the Save User Info button.

If the system won't let you edit information for someone you have selected, that means the person is not yet a member of your department. Once you add the person to your department, you'll have access to edit them.

There are two ways to add people to your department or subdepartment.

• Select the person you wish you edit.

• Click the Add a New Role/Department button.

• Click the Add Role & Department button.

Method 2

• Go to the department administration page and select your department.

• Scroll down to Individuals Not in a Subdepartment or the relevant subdepartment.

• Select a role (Staff, Faculty, etc.) from the dropdown.

• Click the Add Member button.

• Go to the department administration page and select your department, or search for the person's last name.
