An Introduction to Secure Access Phase 2 1
2
Background to Secure Access Secure Access (SA) was introduced on 10 December 2012 to provide Local Authorities and Schools with a single, secure point of entry to Departmental IT systems (currently COLLECT, School 2 School (s2s) and Key to Success (KtS)) and to ensure that the data that they hold is much better protected; It replaced the previous “Authentix” system; All current schools and LA personnel who use S2S and/or COLLECT were migrated to SA; 2
3
Background to Secure Access An enhanced version of SA (Phase 2) will be launched on 9 th December; This will provide individual Secure Access accounts within schools and academies who currently have shared accounts (Local Authority users already have individual accounts) In support of that, the facility to create and administer SA accounts locally will be provided by introducing an ‘Approver’ role within each organisation (i.e. School, Academy or Local Authority). 3
4
The Approver Role An Approver will have the same access as an End User but with additional user management privileges; Approvers will have the ability to: - Search for users within their organisation - Add new user accounts - View user accounts - Edit and archive user accounts - Add and remove access to Departmental systems as required, and where access is granted to COLLECT, specify/select the data collection(s) that are able to be accessed by the requestor. 4
5
The Approver Role Within a Local Authority, the Contact Liaison Officer (CLO) will undertake the approver role; Within schools, a nominated member of staff (who could be the existing account holder for the shared account) will undertake the role; COLLECT Access will no longer be managed by the EDD Helpdesk and it will be the responsibility of the Contact Liaison Officer and individual schools to add and remove access to data collections within COLLECT Users will have their accounts upgraded on 9 th December to the Approver account type; 5
6
Account claiming process A flag will be set for all user accounts given ‘Approver’ role to activate a ‘claim’ process on subsequent login to SA following the launch on 9 th December; User logs in; User is shown a confirmation screen asking them to confirm they are authorised to claim this Approver account; If the user is the authorised individual for this account they click ‘Confirm’ and continue to the next page; 6
7
Account claiming process If the user is not the authorised individual for this account, they click ‘Cancel’ and are logged out and returned to the Login page; The Approver will be forced to select a new password and enter a new security question and answer, and will not be allowed to enter one that has been used previously for their account; 7

Collect Access All existing COLLECT users will be migrated over to Secure Access and the relevant tick boxes completed If you grant access for 2013 it will automatically carry forward for any future years unless removed When any of these collections are selected and the account saved the user will have immediate access within COLLECT As CLOs grant access now we would expect a process to already be in place to authenticate a user prior to granting access to a collection at LA level Key to Success for LAs will still be managed by the RA Mailbox with tokens 30
