Immediate Action Required: EIDM Security Officials and Individual Practitioners Must Recertify User Accounts by June 30, 2016

In July 2015, CMS transitioned from the Individuals Authorized Access to CMS Computer Services (IACS) system to the Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) system.
EIDM users must recertify their accounts, annually. This year, recertification is required by the end of June. The EIDM Security Official (SO) or Individual Practitioner must recertify by Thursday, June 30, 2016. The SO and Individual Practitioner can recertify by logging into the CMS Enterprise Portal using existing EIDM credentials to access the list of users who require recertification. SOs and Individual Practitioner can locate the list of users by navigating to the View and Manage My Access page after logging in and selecting the Annual Certification link on the left pane. The SO and Individual Practitioner can recertify multiple users at one time.
If you experience issues trying to recertify users, please call the QualityNet Help Desk immediately at 1-866-288-8912. The QualityNet Help Desk hours of operations are Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Central Time.
Take action today. The deadline for SOs and Individual Practitioner to recertify user roles is June 30th. Current certification will expire after that date and user roles will be revoked. If that happens, users must go through the process of requesting the role for SO and Individual Practitioner approval.
