How to: Tell the difference between Self-Service Banner (SSB) and the Luminis portal in Raiderlink

Instructions

Self-Service Banner (SSB)

One indicator that you are in SSB and not the Luminis portal is that the website address begins with https://ssb.texastech.edu.

You can also tell you are in SSB versus the Luminis portal by looking at the available tabs. There are a limited number of tab names for SSB. They are:

My Personal Information
Student
Faculty Services
My Employment Information
Financial Aid, and
WebTailor Administration

SSB also has a plain black header with "TEXAS TECH" in white, all uppercase letters with no logos or icons.

Luminis portal

In contrast, Luminis portal addresses begin with https://portal.texastech.edu.

The Luminis portal has the user's name in the top bar. There are also some large navigation buttons in the upper right-hand corner, such as:

My Personal Information
Email
Banner Admin
Banner Assistance
Sign Out

The portal has a "hamburger menu" button in the top left. Just underneath is a gray box with "TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY" in white, all uppercase letters, "Raiderlink" just underneath, and the double-T logo to the left.
