CNPweb security is only as good as your vigilance in safeguarding Usernames and passwords.
Think username and password = your signature.
If a person not longer in your employment puts in a false claim because you did not notify us to inactivate the associated username and password. Your organization is the one that will take the heat for the false claim.
CNPweb offer a way to monitor who has access to your organizations information. It is behind the user tab.
If there is a user listed that no longer has responsibility for the Child Nutrition Program. Please submit a Terminate access form from the Offline forms on the Packet tab to your assigned Program Specialist?.
