Introduction to FTEM Roles and Permissions

All FTEM accounts are assigned the Viewer role by default. If you would like to request a different FTEM role, do so via your FTEM profile in the top right of the page by following these steps:

1. Go to your FTEM Profile page by either by clicking on your username in the top right of any FTEM screen and selecting Profile from the drop-down list, or by using the Account Management button on the FTEM landing page.

   

2. Select the Roles tab, this displays your current role, as well as an option to request additional roles.

3. Click the Add FTEM Roles button, this opens the FTEM Roles table.

   

4. The FTEM Roles table displays options to update your role for various agencies. Select the role you want.

   Important! Viewers can only request the role of "Editor." Editors can then request the role of "Administrator."

5. Provide a brief justification for your role using the justification text box. One sentence should suffice.

6. Click the Request FTEM Roles button.

   

7. Once you submit your request you will see the "Submitting Agency Request" notice appear while the request is submitted. When this notice disappears, your request has been successfully submitted and the FTEM Administrators have been notified to review the request. Upon approval, you will receive confirmation of the new role via the email linked to your account. The next time you access FTEM, you will have your new role.
