In order to use your Alias ID with a Local Account username, you will need to upload a nightly file to NCDPI with the user’s NCEdCloud UID and account name. To make local user account names unique across the state, they must contain a PSU component since they aren’t inherently unique like email addresses. Like an email address, a username of jsmith might be “scoped” with the PSU’s domain – jsmith.psu – or it might be jsmith@psu.k12.nc.
