Getting Assigned to an Organization in RIS

All users will need to belong to an organization before successfully accessing RIS.

  • Organization Administrators in RIS can create and assign users to their organization. RIS does not send out automatic emails upon assignment. Organization Administrators should communicate with you to identify that they have added you to their organization for RIS.
  • If you have not been assigned to an organization, but know your organization already exists in RIS, contact your Organization Administrator (e.g. a qualifications or training manager) for assignment.
  • If your organization is not established, or you are unsure who to contact from your organization, please fill out the NRH Systems Organization Request Form.
