Create a DoD User

Introduction:

The User Management screen allows the Agency System Administrator to create additional user account profiles*, update, and enable/disable Agency Users.  Agency System Administrators have the ability to read/write to their respective Agency Users’ Profiles and assign User Privileges.

The Agency System Administrator controls and monitors Government Users for their respective Agency’s end-users. The System User is implemented, maintained, and controlled by the FPDS System Administrator. The Public User is created in FPDS upon registration. The Public User is monitored and maintained by the FPDS System Administrator. User Types fall into three categories.

 


*System Administrators have the ability to create additional user profiles for Government users requiring roles within an additional Activity Address Code (AAC) than those already assigned to the current user profile.
