Security access reminders

Account sharing forbidden

Multiple users from the same organization may NOT use one IDM account.

IDM accounts may not be shared - even among members of the same organization. Each Identity Management (IDM) account has a unique User ID and Password, and each User ID is associated with a specific individual’s Social Security number (SSN) and personal information (e.g., home address, telephone number, challenge questions / answers).

Note: Only the last five digits of the individual’s SSN will be visible to IDM and SPOT support staff.

If an employee leaves the organization, another employee may NOT use their account. That account will stay with the individual who leaves, and the new employee will need to create their own IDM account to request access to SPOT.

Each individual requiring access must register separately. If multiple individuals from the same organization require access to SPOT, each must create their own IDM account and request access to the SPOT. For detailed instructions, view the full registration instructions for approvers, backup approvers, or end users.

If an IDM account holder employed by your organization resigns or is terminated, his or her IDM account may remain intact; however, the access to SPOT should be removed. This can be done by the account holder, an office approver, or the SPOT Help Desk (FCSOSpotHelp@FCSO.com).

If an IDM account holder shares his or her account with anyone - including someone from the same organization - the security violation will be reported to CMS and the IDM account will be temporarily disabled or permanently archived.

Note: Although users may disclose their IDM User ID with the SPOT Help Desk, passwords should never be disclosed.

SPOT account activity requirements

CMS data security standards require SPOT users to log into the application at least every 30 days to maintain access.

All users are required to log in to SPOT at least once every 30 days. Any user IDs that do not meet this requirement will be considered inactive. Logging in to the Identity Management (IDM) system at https://home.idm.cms.gov to reset your password is required to reactivate the SPOT access.
