Overview
FIU performs most of its administrative data processing at the Northwest Regional Data center in Tallahasee. Most FIU employees have a NWR Logon ID (LID) assigned to them. This identifier string is used to Identify, and with an associated password, to authenticate users at the NWRDC.

An FIU LID will ALWAYS begin with FI and will be 5 to 8 characters in length. This is the SAME logon ID used to logon to CICS applications such as PMEN, ZEDA, ZSSM, SRM2. It is often, though erroneously, referred to as a SAMAS Id.

Note that virtually all SAMAS functions are now provided by People Soft.
SAMAS Users Access the SAMAS data center by "passing through" the NWRDC. Access to SAMAS is administered by the Controllers Office for FIU folks.

Deletion-Suspension-Inactivation-Cancellation of LIDS
Numerous automated tasks monitor the continued validity of NWR LIDS, these standards are much more rigorous than those applied to email accounts. For instance - A change in Payroll status will often affect your NWR LID but not your email account. Repeated Password violations, Dormancy and inactive payroll status will cause your Logon Id to be Suspended and after an aging period to be deleted.

Restrictions on LID Creation

  • All FIU user LIDs are begin with FI
  • No User LID may contain a U in the 3rd position (FIUxx is reserved)
  • Generic or Departmental LID are NOT permitted, each LID is assigned to a specific PERSON , and that person is held accountable for the use of the access provided.
  • passwords expire (at least) annually and may not be reused
  • passwords must be at least 4 characters
