Completing the user profile and becoming an Authenticated User

In the following we describe the process of how to become an Authenticated User by completing the user profile. This is a necessary step to create an account and to carry out specific actions.

Completing the user profile and becoming an Authenticated User

The main My profile screen that opens up after selecting the confirmation button shows the Personal information you have already shared with the EAM system via the Federal Authentication Service (FAS), i.e. your first name, last name and NISS code. And, if available, a NIHDI number.

Below the personal information you will find the Linked accounts window with an overview of the accounts linked to your profile. You can sort this overview by Account, Email and State. Selection of an account in this window directs you to the management of grants for these accounts, to an overview of accesses to projects and several advanced actions.

Attention: Upon your first login the list with linked accounts will of course be empty.

Now, click on your name and e-mail address on the top left of the screen to toggle a toolbar with four tabs:

View profile, Edit profile, My Accounts and Log out.

The View profile tab directs you to the My profile screen, which is the screen you are viewing now.

To complete your profile, select the Edit profile tab. The Edit tab contains two subtabs: User settings and Personal information. The red asterisks indicate required fields.

Select the User settings tab.

ATTENTION: When logging in for the first time, the User settings tab will feature a primary e-mail address field with a pre-filled default e-mail address, e.g.:

Replace this address with your professional e-mail address. This e-mail address is used to send necessary notifications to you. Preferably avoid the use of public e-mail addresses such as @gmail.com, @hotmail.com, @yahoo.com etc.

Confirm with the Save button.

The Personal information tab contains pre-populated information such as first name, last name and SSIN in greyed out fields. This information can't be changed. Next to this, you can provide a NIHDI number, or more than one, if applicable.

Use the Save button to confirm. You have now completed the fields in both User settings and Personal information tabs, which makes you known to the EAM system as an Authenticated User.
