  • My Division: you find all the data related to your NREN.  Here you can also modify them and upload your logo
    The info you find here are mainly descriptive.

  • Divisions: you can create and manage new divisions. From here you can also inactive a division that is no longer valid.
  • Users: From here administrators can create new users and manage the already existing ones. The new users will receive an email from DigiCert with the link to the page where to set their own password and data.
    Notice that all administrators can approve or reject certificate requests. User accounts can only submit requests. If a user should be allowed to treat Extended Validation SSL certificates make sure that both the the fields Phone (phone number) and Title (function name) are correctly filled.

The regular procedure to validate such a user for EV includes a phone call from DigiCert. This call goes to the formal number of the Institution (usually to HR) and it will be asked whether there is indeed  employee with that name that works under that Title. Make sure that the function name you provide is the correct one. 

Suggestions: Give to somebody an administrator account only if it is a trusted expert. Give to as few people as possible EV admin rights. Make sure that the click-through 'TCS Terms of Use' has been thoroughly read by everybody.

Notice that the indication of an EV Administrator is done from the Validation menu: 
Validation → Organizations → Manage → Submit for Validation.
