F.A.Q. on the USM
You (as MS liaison or deputy) need a
username and a
password. If you already have your username and password for SFC2007, you can access the USM.
(Information on usernames and passwords has been sent to the MS
liaisons and MS liaison deputies via e-mail).
Then, you can access SFC2007 as
usual
and find the USM under the menu
Utilities >
Access Requests.
The USM allows MS liaisons to enter request for:
creation,
modification
or
disabling of
web users and
certificates. The USM also allows to request for
renewal of expired certificates and to
grant access to users managed by
other MS liaisons
(very useful for cross-border programmes). Additionally, the USM allows
the MS liaisons to check the history and status of their requests, and the list
of users/certificates they are managing.
The USM was launched on 1/3/2011.
Yes, the USM is available for MS liaisons and for their deputies.
The deputies are able to do exactly the same actions as the MS
liaison.
No presence trainings are foreseen. However, a manual is available
in English,
German and
French. Additionally, the SFC2007 support team is at your disposal for any
question or doubt you might have (
sfc2007-info@ec.europa.eu.eu)
For now, any changes to the user's personal data must be done via an access request
entered in the USM by the MS liaison .
However, a functionality is foreseen to allow the users to modify their personal data only, (Not their roles and permissions!!) but this functionality will be implemented at a later stage.
Yes, you can see the list of existing users via the menu Utilities > Contacts/Users
Yes, MS liaisons and deputies are able to request access to users and to request certificates.
Yes, MS liaisons can enter requests for the "Production" environment, for "Training", "Acceptance"
(test) and "Beta" environment.
This is done via the USM of each environment. The specific links to these environments
are available in the user manual (en,
fr,
de).
No, password reset will continue to be done via e-mail as it is done today.
A user cannot have incompatible roles within the same profile. The list of incompatible roles is available
here.
Additionally, in USM, when you select a role and permission incompatible with other ones, these become greyed and you cannot select them.
