Managing FGD User Roles
This section describes:
Available FGD user roles
FGD user role structure
Creating a CDX account and requesting access to FGD as a Grantee
Creating CDX accounts and requesting access to FGD as a RPO and OCSPP/OECA Reviewer
Reviewing and approving requests for access
Managing RMAM access
Available FGD User Roles
The FGD application has the following user roles available:
Grantee Region 1
Grantee Region 2
Grantee Region 3
Grantee Region 4
Grantee Region 5
Grantee Region 6
Grantee Region 7
Grantee Region 8
Grantee Region 9
Grantee Region 10
RPO
OCSPP/OECA Reviewer
RMAM
Grantee Roles
The Grantee Region 1-10 roles are intended for the state and tribal end users who will be utilizing the FGD application to develop and report on a Grant Work Plan. The Grantee Region 1-10 roles have the following characteristics:
The Grantee roles are considered `open', which means that any users (with or without an existing CDX account) will be able to request access to the role during FGD registration.
    NOTE: While the role is `open' and visible to everyone, this role requires approval before access to the application is granted.
Grantee roles are broken out by region, and a user must select the appropriate Grantee role based on their region when signing up for an account. The FGD application uses these roles to determine what region the Grantee belongs to. For example, a Grantee user based out of Virginia should select the Grantee Region 3 role when signing up for access to FGD.
When signing up for an account, the Grantee will be required to enter an `Organization Name'. The FGD application utilizes this organization name to link multiple users to the same Grantee organization (so that they may view the same grant data). When users from the same organization are requesting access to FGD, they must use the exact same organization name. Otherwise, the system will not link them together, and they will not see the same grant details.
    NOTE: Organization name matching is case sensitive. The below example illustrates two separate organizations:
    west Virginia Department of Environmental Protection != West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection
Regional Product Officer Role
The `RPO' role is intended for any EPA user at the regional level. While the role title contains `Project Officer', this role is intended to provide access to the application at an EPA regional level; it should not be restricted to project officers if not required by the specific EPA region. The `RPO' role has the following characteristics:
The `RPO' role is considered `closed', which means that all users (with or without an existing CDX account) will not be able to request access to the role during FGD registration. The `RPO' role can only be assigned to a user by a registered RMAM.
When signing up for the role, users will be required to associate themselves with a specific EPA region. The FGD application uses the region association to determine which Grantees and grants the user should be able to review.
Unlike the Grantee roles, it does not matter which organization the `RPO' belongs to. However, it is recommended that each region agree upon and use a single organization for all users to simplify long-term user maintenance.
OCSPP/OECA Reviewer Role
The `OCSPP/OECA Reviewer' role is intended for any EPA users at the national level. The `OCSPP/OECA Reviewer' role has the following characteristics:
The `OCSPP/OECA Reviewer' role is considered `closed', which means that all users (with or without an existing CDX account) will not be able to request access to the role during FGD registration. The `OCSPP/OECA Reviewer' role can only be assigned to a user by a registered RMAM.
The `OCSPP/OECA Reviewer' role is not associated with any particular region and requires a region selection.
Unlike the Grantee roles, it does not matter which organization the `OCSPP/OECA Reviewer' belongs to. However, it is recommended that users within the same organization (e.g. OCSPP) use a single organization name for all users to simplify long-term user maintenance.
Registration Maintenance Account Manager Role
The Registration Maintenance Account Manager (RMAM) role provides users with access to the Registration Maintenance dataflow in CDX. RMAMs can access CDX end user registration data in order to grant and assign access rights and roles to CDX users. The `RMAM' role has the following characteristics:
The `RMAM' role is a CDX specific role. As such, users should reach out to the CDX Helpdesk to gain access to the role.
The `RMAM' role access rights are associated with a particular CDX dataflow (FGD application) and are specific to the roles within that application.
Each EPA region should have a minimum of one RMAM. This RMAM will be responsible for managing Grantee users within their region.
There should be (at minimum) one RMAM at the national level who can oversee user management for all roles/regions.
Grantee Role Access
This section provides information for registering as a Grantee user in CDX under the FGD dataflow.
Creating a CDX Account
Users must have a CDX account before accessing the FGD application. To register for a CDX account, click the `Register with CDX' button on the CDX landing (see Exhibit 3-1).
                                       
Exhibit 3-1: Register with CDX Button

By accepting the terms and conditions (Exhibit 3-2), you agree to abide by the system requirements. Click the `I Accept' radio button and click `Proceed' to continue.
                                       
Exhibit 3-2: Terms and Conditions
After accepting the terms and conditions, the system will prompt you to select a program service (Exhibit 3-3). Type `FGD' in the `Active Program Services List' search bar to filter the available selections. Select the FGD text box below the search bar.
                                       
Exhibit 3-3: Program Service Selection

After selecting FGD, you will be required to select a role from the `Select Role' dropdown (Exhibit 3-4). The available roles are as follows:
Grantee Region 1
Grantee Region 2
Grantee Region 3
Grantee Region 4
Grantee Region 5
Grantee Region 6
Grantee Region 7
Grantee Region 8
Grantee Region 9
Grantee Region 10
Select the appropriate Grantee role. The FGD application uses these roles to determine which region the Grantee belongs to. For example, a Grantee user based in Virginia should select the Grantee Region 3 role.
                                       
Exhibit 3-4: FGD Role Selection

Once the role has been selected, you will be required to complete the registration by entering `User Information' and `Organization Info' (Exhibit 3-5). For the user information section, please be sure to fill out all required fields denoted by an asterisk (*).
When adding an organization to your account, you will first be prompted to search for existing organizations within CDX. If you do not find your organization, you will be able to create one by selecting the `request that we add your organization' hyperlink (Exhibit 3-6). Once you have filled out all required fields, click the `Submit Request for Access' button at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE: The FGD application utilizes this organization name to link multiple users to the same Grantee organization (so that they may view the same grant data). When users from the same organization are requesting access to FGD, they must use the exact same organization name. Otherwise, the system will not link them together, and they will not see the same grant details.
 NOTE: Organization name matching is case sensitive. The below example illustrates two separate organizations:
west Virginia Department of Environmental Protection != West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection
                                       
Exhibit 3-5: User and Organization Information
                                       
Exhibit 3-6: Create New Organization
After filling out the necessary details and selecting or creating an organization, you will receive a confirmation email with additional steps to complete the registration process (Exhibit 3-7). Follow all steps in the confirmation email and login to CDX to see the FGD application listed in your service tab (Exhibit 3-8).
NOTE: Your FGD role must be approved by an RPO before you can access the FGD application. Any questions regarding approval should be directed to your designated contact at the applicable regional office.

Adding FGD to an Existing CDX Account
If you already have a CDX account, login to CDX using your username and password. Once logged in, find the `Add Program Service' button at the bottom of the `MyCDX' tab (Exhibit 3-9).
                                       
Exhibit 3-9: MyCDX Homepage
After clicking the `Add Program Service' button, the system will prompt you to select a program service (Exhibit 3-10). Type `FGD' in the `Active Program Services List' search bar to filter the available selections. Select the FGD text box below the search bar.
                                       
Exhibit 3-10: Program Service Selection

After selecting FGD, you will be required to select a role from the `Select Role' dropdown (Exhibit 3-11). The available roles are as follows:
Grantee Region 1
Grantee Region 2
Grantee Region 3
Grantee Region 4
Grantee Region 5
Grantee Region 6
Grantee Region 7
Grantee Region 8
Grantee Region 9
Grantee Region 10
 Select the appropriate Grantee role. The FGD application uses these roles to determine which region the Grantee belongs to. For example, a Grantee user based in Virginia should select the Grantee Region 3 role.
                                       
Exhibit 3-11: FGD Role Selection
Once an applicable role has been selected, you will be required to either use an existing organization attached to your account, or create a new organization (Exhibit 3-12). To continue, either select an existing organization or create a new one and fill out all required fields. After indicating the appropriate organization, select `Submit Request for Access'. You will see an FGD entry on the `MyCDX' page, but access will be restricted pending RPO approval. Any questions regarding approval should be directed to your designated contact at the applicable regional office.
NOTE: The FGD application utilizes this organization name to link multiple users to the same Grantee organization (so that they may view the same grant data). When users from the same organization are requesting access to FGD, they must use the exact same organization name. Otherwise, the system will not link them together, and they will not see the same grant details.
 NOTE: Organization name matching is case sensitive. The below example illustrates two separate organizations:
west Virginia Department of Environmental Protection != West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection
                                       
Exhibit 3-12: Edit Account Profile
RPO and OPP/OECA Reviewer Role Access
This section provides information for registering as an RPO or OCSPP/OECA Reviewer in CDX under the FGD dataflow.
Creating a CDX Account
The `RPO' and `OCSPP/OECA Reviewer' roles are considered `closed' roles. For this reason, new CDX users requiring these roles will need an existing FGD RMAM to create their account. For assistance with adding these roles to an existing CDX account, please refer to Section 3.3.2.
As an RMAM user, login to CDX using your username and password (Exhibit 3-13).
                                       
Exhibit 3-13: CDX Login

Copy Work Plan Activity Description (Outputs)
Grantees have the ability to copy `Work Plan Activity Description (Outputs)' between budget periods. When accessing the next budget period, they are automatically prompted to copy the previous budget period's `Work Plan Activity Description (Outputs)' when clicking the `Edit' icon given that budget period:
Has a `Document Status' of `New' (Exhibit 4-29).
Contains no changes/updates to the `Work Plan Activity Description (Outputs)' fields on the `Work Plan' screen.
Is immediately preceded by another budget period (by date).
       NOTE: the preceeding budget period does not have to be within the same grant project period.
             
Exhibit 4-29: Document Status `New'
The copy method can be performed between budget periods of the same grant or between budget periods of separate grants. When copying is initiated, a modal is generated prompting you to `copy all work plan activity descriptions from the previous budget period' (Exhibit 4-30). The prompt will include the date range of the previous budget period for reference. If the previous budget period is from a separate grant, the prompt will state that it is from `the last budget period of the previous grant' and will include the date range of the entire project period for that grant (Exhibit 4-31).
Clicking `No' inside the modal will open the `Work Plan and Accomplishments Home' screen for that budget period and not copy any `Work Plan Activity Description (Outputs)' from the previous budget period. Clicking `Yes' inside the modal will copy all `Work Plan Activity Description (Outputs)' from the previous budget period for the specified date range. Clicking `Cancel' inside the modal will direct the user back to the `Grant Home' screen.
NOTE: Copying between budget periods of separate grants only considers the final budget period of the grant that is closest (by date), and only if the final budget period has ended before the new budget period has started. The copy method also assumes there are no overlaps in project period dates among separate grants.
NOTE: `Work Plan Description (Outputs)' of the previous budget period is the only information that is copied.
