Setting up an Authorized User in Touchnet (How-to)

Students can set up an authorized user (often a parent) for their Drake Student Account. An authorized user will have access to make payments on the account and change the account settings. For more information on parent access, see drake.edu/parents/payment.

1. Log in to myDrake

myDrake is using a system that allows for single sign-on (SSO) to multiple sites. This means that once you sign into your Drake account to access myDrake, your login credentials will be shared with additional applications. ITS staff is working on connecting as many campus systems as possible through SSO, so the number of systems that require a second login will change.

Go to my.drake.edu using your favorite web browser. myDrake works on Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari and is responsive so it will scale to an appropriately sized screen on whatever computer, tablet or mobile device you're using.

At the login screen:

  1. Type your Drake email address.
  2. Click Next.
  3. Enter your Drake password
  4. Click Sign in.

See step by step screenshots at Signing in to Microsoft-connected systems (How-To).
