Requesting Additional User Roles

When you request and are granted a WFDSS profile, you are automatically assigned the Viewer user role. There are multiple system-level user roles in WFDSS and you can request additional user roles, as needed. Some roles imply privileges associated with other roles:

• All roles have Viewer privileges
• National Editors and Geographic Editors also have Author privileges.
• Help Desk supersedes all other role assignments.

In addition, you might have incident-level privileges, such as Owner, Editor, Reviewer, or Approver.

Note: You must update your information in both the Production and Training applications. They do not share data.

To request additional system privileges:

1. Login to the appropriate WFDSS application, Production or Training.
2. Click My Home > User Roles. The Home - User Roles page appears, with your current privileges checked in the User Roles box.
3. Check the additional roles that you want.
4. Write a justification for the request. Your justification should explain why you need the additional roles.
5. Click Submit Request.

A WFDSS Administrator will review your request and approve it if requirements have been met.
