Overview

You can update your account information on the Account page. To access, click Account in the top right corner, then click Edit My Account. Once you're done making your edits, click Submit.

Basic Account Information

Update your name, email address, phone number, and password.

For more details on updating other account information, including your Work Groups, programs, etc., visit the Managing Users page. You can also contact your program's Institution Manager, as they manage access for all users within your CAS.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an additional security method that protects and helps prevent unauthorized access to your account. You can set up MFA using any standard two-factor authentication (2FA) app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, etc.).

Activating MFA for Your Account

Click Account in the top right corner.
Click Enable MFA.
Using your authenticator app, scan the QR code. If you can't scan the QR code, click Can't scan image? to show the account name and secret key and manually type them into your authenticator app. The account name and secret key are not case-sensitive.
Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.
Click Confirm.

You'll then be prompted for MFA each time you log in to WebAdMIT. Note that if you are currently required to use Single Sign On (SSO) to log in to WebAdMIT, you do not need to set up MFA.

Deactivating MFA for Your Account

If desired, you can deactivate MFA by clicking Account in the top right corner and then clicking Disable MFA.

Note that if at least one of your CASs requires MFA, then you must set up MFA and will not see the Disable MFA button for any of your CASs.

Requiring MFA for Your Organization

If your organization wants to require all users to set up MFA for their accounts, note the following:

Only a primary contact can make this request, and they must be listed as a primary contact in the CAS Configuration Portal. See View Primary Contacts List to find this list.
The request is specific to a CAS. For example, if Demo University wants to require MFA for their organizations in both CASPA and PTCAS, then both the primary contact for Demo University in CASPA and the primary contact for Demo University in PTCAS need to make requests.
Required MFA is only activated for the current cycle.

Additionally, note the following behaviors around required MFA:

Users will receive a notification when they log in that they need to set up MFA by the deadline date. They can click Skip for now to bypass this requirement until the deadline date when they must set up MFA before they can use WebAdMIT.
New users will have three days to set up MFA for their account.
If you require MFA, users cannot disable it under their account.
If a program, organization, or CAS requires users to use Single Sign On (SSO) to log in to WebAdMIT, your users do not need to set up MFA.

To submit a request for required MFA for your organization, email the Client Support Specialist team at webadmitsupport@liaisonedu.com and include the following:

Your name
Organization and CAS
Date when your users must use MFA by. We recommend at least 2 weeks from the original request date, so that you can notify your users.
