Managing user access

Anyone with access to the audit submission can modify the Auditee and Auditor Certifying Officials and add additional Audit Editors.

Keep in mind that each audit submission can have only one Auditee Certifying Official and one Auditor Certifying Official, and these must be different individuals.

The following instructions guide you through the process of changing user roles. After completing these steps, you must log out and log back in for your changes to take effect.

    You will begin on the fac.gov app homepage. To make changes to your single audit, you will need to sign in using Login.gov.

    Logging in with Login.gov

    To make changes to your single audit, you must have an account with Login.gov and have pre-approved access to these audits.

    Creating a Login.gov account is fully online and secure.

    Your audit submissions

    Once you have signed in using Login.gov, you’ll see all of the single audit submissions associated with your account and their status.

    You can edit audits that are still in progress by clicking "In progress" next to the report ID in the table.

    Submission checklist

    Selecting a single audit submission will take you to its checklist. From here, click on the “Manage report access” button to make changes to certifying officials and audit editors.

    Manage user roles: Certifying Official

    To make changes to the Auditee or Auditor Certifying Official, click “Edit” next to their name in the table.

    Updating Certifying Official

    Each audit submission can have only one Auditor Certifying Official and one Auditee Certifying Official. Submitting a new official will replace the current one.

    The Auditor Certifying Official must be a different individual from the Auditee Certifying Official and cannot be one of the Audit Editors.

    Manage user roles: adding new Audit Editor

    To add a new Audit Editor, click the “Add editor” button below the table. There is no limit to the number of Audit Editors that can be on a single audit submission.

    Adding new Audit Editor

    To add a new Audit Editor, enter their name and the email address associated with their Login.gov account.

    Updated user roles

    Once you’ve added new users, you will see their names and email addresses appear in the table of users on the single audit submission. For the changes to take effect, users must log out and log back in to their account.

    Manage user roles: adding new Audit Editor

    To remove an Audit Editor, click "Remove" next to their name in the table.

    At this time, you can’t remove Auditee Certifying Officials.

    Confirm Audit Editor removal

    Audit Editors cannot remove their own access. This helps to ensure that an audit remains accessible to an organization.
