Technical Administrator and Security Officer Agreement

Notes about the Technical Administrator and Security Officer Agreement

• The role of Technical Administrator and the role of Security Officer are two different roles. Depending on how your agency is structured, the size of your organization, and how roles and responsibilities are divided, these may be fulfilled by one person, or they may be fulfilled by two (or more) people. In order to gain access to HMIS, we must have a signed form returned for each of these roles. If you are one person fulfilling two roles, you may submit just one form with both boxes checked.
• You should return the signed Agreement(s) to Bitfocus SCC System Administration team. When we receive  your Agreement, we will confirm with you.
• Please note all Technical Administrators are required to complete the following training: SCC Clarity HMIS Partner Technical Administrator/Agency Lead Training.
