Gartner Database Login Change

UPDATE (11 September 2018): The information below that was posted yesterday is now out of date, as CUNY CIS has now decided that access to Gartner will be via a direct link instead of via the CUNY Portal. That direct link still requires that users log in with their CUNY Login (see below). Our A-Z link to Gartner will no longer instruct how to connect via the CUNY Portal but instead how to use your CUNY Login.


Access to Gartner continues to require you first to log into the CUNY Portal. What’s new as of 5 pm today is that your login for the CUNY Portal will use the CUNY Login system:

  • Username: Your CUNYfirst username + @login.cuny.edu (e.g., [email protected])
  • Password: Your CUNYfirst password

The separate login credentials we used to use for the CUNY Portal will no longer work. This change is part of the ongoing effort to cut down on the number of login credentials that members of the CUNY community need.

A link for Gartner is still found on our databases page (the link takes you to the CUNY Portal login page).

Gartner’s availability to students vs faculty/staff

There seems to be a problem with students gaining access to Gartner through the CUNY Portal. Last night a student logged in and was NOT presented with access to Gartner. However, when I logged in after, I was presented with a link to Gartner. This would seem to suggest there is a difference in who may be permitted access to Gartner, whereas faculty/staff may be given access while students may not have access. I have informed Mike Waldman about this problem which I presume will be investigated further.
