FAO's on the EDEN portal

  • I need access to EDEN and the applications within EDEN, as either an Administrator or a User. How do I get access to use EDEN or its modules?

    You can follow the process below to Grant Personnel access to a Licence on EDEN.

    Firstly, you must Register as a User.

    Select register from the left navigation bar.

    You will be presented with the option to Search and Select from Existing Companies.  

    You will be presented with one or more options, depending on whether one or more companies are registered against the name search.  Select the relevant company, and the Company Information will be presented to you.  If you are happy that this is the correct selection, click on next to proceed to next step.

    You will be presented with User Registration page, and you will be required to fill out the following details:

    Login Details:   This will require your email address and is a mandatory field.  You will use this email address for login to the systems in future.

    User Information:  Complete this section as required, completing mandatory fields.

    Address Information:  Complete this section as required with details of facility and work area.

    Select Modules:  You will have the option to select which Modules within EDEN you require access to here, and you should click add on each module you need access to.

    You should then accept the Terms and Conditions and click on OK.

    This completes the registration process and an email confirming your registration will be sent to your email address. 

    The next step is when the Organisation Administrator processes the Membership request.  You will receive an email confirming that you have been approved or rejected as a user.

     

  • I am the Organisation Administrator. How do I approve a User request for access to EDEN or its Modules?

    Select Manage Users on the left navigation page.  This presents the Administrator with the option of Process Membership Requests.  The Administrator is presented with the list of user module and has the option to approve or reject the application.

    Once users have been approved, the Administrator can see a list of the users who currently belong to this organisation. You can modify roles, view module access and revoke membership using the options provided.

  • Is there a limit of user/administrators who can access the system?

    The number of users per organisation has no practical limit; however, there is an administrative overhead on your organisation in terms of managing your user base.  We suggest that access is limited to those individuals who are actively involved in communicating with the EPA.

     

  • What do I do if no licences are visible against my organisation?

    Once a request from a user for access to EDEN and AM has been granted, the user can log in to EDEN and launch the AM Module.  However, one more step is required to give access to the relevant licence.  The application administrator must launch the AM Module and click on the 'manage my users' button.  This button in only available to application administrators and allows them to assign a user to a specific licence.  Once this step is complete the user can then access the licence details and carry out actions such as submitting a report to the EPA, viewing EPA reports, etc. Most organisations only have a single licence; however some organisations may have multiple licences, and in this case you may want to restrict access to the AM Module for some users to a single licence (e.g. the site on which they work).

     

  • How do I update my organisation details?

    Where the organisational details displayed in EDEN require update or are incorrect, the licensee should make a Return on the Authorisation page using the document type "Site updates/notifications" and sub-type "Contacts" and enter the details of the change in the text box.

    The number and scope of "Manage my Licence" users in EDEN can be managed by the licensee as an "Administrator" in EDEN.  See more information in the help section.
