SUBJ: DIRECT ACCESS ACCOUNT RECERTIFICATION
1. Direct Access user accounts with roles higher than CG Self-Service must be recertified annually.
2. Members who have not recertified their elevated user roles in the last 350 days have until 19 DEC 2022. Members who fail to recertify their elevated user roles will have their user roles reset to Self-Service only.
3. User role recertifications are processed in the Direct Access system. Members have begun receiving notifications in Direct Access and via email if their user roles have not been recertified in the last 350 days. To view notification in Direct Access, log into Direct Access and click on the bell shaped notification icon in the upper right hand section of the screen.
4. Recertification requests are to be submitted to approving officials within the requesting member's command. Approving officials should approve or deny the requests as soon as possible. Requests left in a pending approval status for more than 30 days expire and will be automatically terminated. Members will receive an email notification if their recertification request has been terminated due to failure by approving official to approve or deny the request and to resubmit a Direct Access user role recertification request.
