Often referred to as "guest accounts," HawkIDs are available for guests, collaborators, contractors, or other external users who need access to University of Iowa systems.

Guest HawkIDs are full HawkIDs and the HawkID does not expire. However, access granted to a guest HawkID for a specific service can only be granted for up to one year at a time.

Use the Sponsored Invitations option available in Hawk ID tools to invite a guest to create a HawkID. The initiator of the invitation will receive an email including the new HawkID once the invitee sets up their account.
