Global Logon Instructions


The primary purpose of Global Logon is to establish a single logon, unique to each NAIS user, which will enable access to all applications. Global Logon will eliminate the need to log onto each application individually.

First Time Users
1. Access Global Logon at https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/nais/login_account.cgi (VPO will eventually provide a direct link to Global Logon.).
2. Do not try to enter a logon yet. Select "Create Account".
3. Complete the user profile form. HINT: utilize your personal user id for logging onto your office desktop system.
4. Select "Preview", reviews your profile data, and then select "Submit".
5. If your Global Logon account was approved, skip to Step 7.
6. If your Global Logon account was not approved, contact NAIS Support for further instruction.
7. Enter your new Global Logon user id and password, and then select "Logon".
8. Select "Request Application Access".
9. Check the boxes associated with each application that you desire to utilize. (You will have to do this only once for each application). In some cases, you will receive an email directing you to a location to provide additional profile information relevant to the application you checked. In that case, complete the additional profile page.
10. Once the user registration process is completed, your center's super user(s) will be notified by email that you have requested access to a new application. Once the super user authorizes your application access, you will receive a confirmation by email. If you don't receive email confirmation within a day, please contact a super user or NAIS center manager. Super users and center managers are identified at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/nais/suser_list.cgi.
