The UC Publication Management System uses your campus network account for login. If you encounter a login error, it may be due to one of these issues:
- Incorrect username/password (campus): If you select your campus's login option and see an error on your campus's login page, this indicates an incorrect username or password. (See the example screenshot below at left.) Please contact your campus information technology office or help desk for password assistance.
- Incorrect campus: If you see the "Welcome to Symplectic" login screen (example screenshot below at right), it means that your chosen login account does not correspond to an account in the UCPMS. The UC Publication Management System only supports one login account. If you are appointed to multiple campuses, including the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, your UCPMS account is with your primary campus. When you encounter this error, try logging in on a new browser, or by re-opening the UCPMS login page in a private or incognito window. A general guide of the option to use:
- Appointment at a UC Campus and LBL: Use the Campus option, as specified in your biweekly email.
- Appointment at two UC Campuses: Use the Campus specified in your biweekly email.
- Appointment at a UC Campus and LBL: Use the Campus option, as specified in your biweekly email.
- Out of date user profile: If you see the "Welcome to Symplectic" login screen (example screenshot below at right), and you are affiliated with only one campus, it is possible that your account details are out of date with the campus source data. This most frequently happens with new hires, or those who have recently changed positions. Please contact your campus support team for assistance investigating the issue.
- No account on the UCPMS: If you see the "Welcome to Symplectic" login screen (example screenshot below at right), and you are affiliated with only one campus, and you have not recently started your current position, then it is likely that your login account does not correspond to an account in the UCPMS. All academic employees should have login access to the UCPMS. Learn more about who has access to the UC Publication Management System. Please contact your campus support team for assistance investigating the issue.
