How to create multiple user roles / colleague logins for the same user?


This article describes how to create multiple user roles for the same user using one set of login credentials.  This functionality is also known as the User Role Permission Switcher.


Many RIW System users perform multiple roles, and this feature allows users to change role without logging in using different login credentials each time.


For example, an RIW System User can switch between a Network Manager login, then to a company Employer Admin login, then to a Medical Provider User, all using the same singular login credential.


In order to use the User Role Permission Switcher, new user profiles must be created with the same username and email address for each permission required for the switcher to work.


Important! RIW System users are only able to create a login if their permission allows them to do so (please refer to the Permission Matrix at the end of this article).  If there is an RIW System User Role that a user wishes to have added to their switcher that they are unable to create due to their permissions, please contact the relevant account owner or the RIW Service Desk.


This instruction applies to the following user roles:

  • Advanced Project Admin
  • Employer Admin
  • Helpdesk
  • Network Manager
  • Project Admin
  • Site Admin
  • Training Provider User


Adding a new user role to an existing user


1


Go to https://app.riw.net.au and login using your credentials.

2


Click on My Account > Manage Colleague Logins.

3


On the Manage Colleague Logins screen, click on the Add button.

4


On the Create a Colleague’s User Account select the most appropriate User Role you wish to add, then entering the the user’s First Name, Surname, Email Address and User Name.


You will need to use the exact Email Address and User Name of an existing user (which can also be you) before proceeding.


Click Save when complete.


5


You will be prompted with the following warning message, which identifies that an account for this user already exist. Click on Confirm New Profile to proceed.



The user will receive an email to advise that a new user profile has been created for them. They can then use the permission switcher to switch between user roles.


How to use the permission switcher


1


Go to https://app.riw.net.au and login using your credentials.

2


If you have the permission switcher enabled on your credential, the Change link will be present in the top right hand corner of the screen, against the current user role.

Click Change to select a different profile.  


System functionality will now change to that of the selected user role.




RIW user role creation permission matrix

The table below outlines RIW System user roles and the corresponding user roles they can create using the Manage Colleague Logins function described above.  If an RIW System user requires a user role they are unable to create themselves, please  contact the Primary Contact at your company or complete the Request for update to AHP or Assessor log in to enable the switcher Service Request available on the RIW website for Assessor and Medical Provider (AHP) logins.

Two-factor authentication and the RIW System


Two-factor authentication (2FA) is used to improve the security of your RIW account. It requires you to produce a combination of your RIW System username and password, and one of the following authentication methods:

  • Email security code
  • SMS security code
  • Authenticator App security code


You will need to authenticate your profile every day you log in to your account, or more frequently if using in-private or incognito browsing.


For 2FA to work effectively, ensure your email and mobile phone number is always up to date in the RIW System. If you are an Assessor, you can update your details in myRIW.

This instruction applies to the following RIW System User Roles: 

  • Advanced Project Admin
  • Assessor (note: only SMS and email authentication methods are available)
  • Employer Admin
  • Employer Admin - No Payment
  • Employer Admin - Read Only
  • Helpdesk
  • Medical Provider 
  • Network Manager
  • Network Manager - Read Only
  • Project Admin
  • Site Admin
  • Training Provider


1


Go to https://app.riw.net.au and enter your Username and Password.

Click Login.

2


Choose an authentication option. In the example below, all verification methods are available. If you only have an email address on your account, only an email option will be available.

If you have not set up the Authenticator App, refer to How set up the Authenticator App.


It may take up to a few minutes for your security code to arrive. Try authenticating with an alternative method if you do not receive your code.

TIP! If sending the security code to your email, try looking in your junk mail.

3


Enter the security code delivered to your device and click Login.




Check out our tips and resolution steps if you haven't received your two-factor authentication security code.

I haven't received my two-factor authentication security code


Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a method used by the RIW System and myRIW to improve the security of your account. It requires you to produce a combination of your username and password, and one of the following authentication methods:

  • Email security code
  • SMS security code
  • Authenticator App code (only available to RIW System users)


You can find out more about two-factor authentication at:


If you have not received your verification code on one of the methods above, follows these tips to determine the issue and the solution.


Email authentication 


IssueSolution
Incorrect email on your profile
Rail Industry Worker - ask your Employer (the company who manages your RIW profile) to update your contact details.

RIW System users - ask a colleague who also has RIW credentials to update your contact details through the manage my colleagues function. If you don't have any colleagues who have access, get in touch with the RIW Service Desk.

Correct email but did not receive the security code.
Check your spam, junk or quarantine folder and release the blocked email. If you still can't locate it, try another authentication method.

Invalid code
Your security code was entered incorrectly. Try entering in the code again, completing the I'm not a robot challenge. Or you can try sending another code by clicking Back or using another authentication method.



SMS authentication


IssueSolution
Incorrect mobile number on your profile
Rail Industry Worker - ask your Employer (the company who manages your RIW profile) to update your contact details.

RIW System users - ask a colleague who also has RIW credentials to update your contact details through the manage my colleagues function. If you don't have any colleagues who have access, get in touch with the RIW Service Desk.

Invalid code
Your security code was entered incorrectly. Try entering in the code again, completing the I'm not a robot challenge. Or you can try sending another code by clicking Back or using another authentication method.



Authenticator App (for RIW System users only)


IssueSolution
Code not received
You may need to reinstall your Authenticator App. However, you will need to use another authentication method to access the RIW System before you set up the Authenticator App again.

Invalid code
Your security code had expired or was entered incorrectly.

If expired, wait for the Authenticator App to generate a new security code (usually every 30 seconds) and try again.

If you entered it in incorrectly and it the security code is still active, try again.

Or try using another authentication method by clicking Back.

Getting ready for two-factor authentication


We have introduced two-factor authentication to make your RIW or myRIW account even more secure.  


What has changed?

When you log in to the RIW System or myRIW after the 12 October 2022, we will require you to produce a combination of your username and password, and one of the following authentication methods:

  • Email security code
  • SMS security code
  • Authenticator App security code (only available to RIW System Users)

 

You will need to authenticate your profile every day you log in, or more frequently if using in-private or incognito browsing.


What do you need to do?

To best protect your account, make sure your personal contact information is up to date. We'll use these details to verify you.


Rail Industry Workers can update their mobile phone number and email address in myRIW.  You can also request your employer to update your contact details in the RIW System.


RIW System users can update their email address and mobile phone number now.  After release on 12 October 2022, you will also be able to install the Authenticator App. 


Why are we doing this?

Adding an additional layer of security protects your account. Sending a security code to a mobile number or email address or by using your Authenticator App, ensures that the person accessing the account has more than just a username and password, meaning it is far less likely that your account can be compromised.


What if I am managing an account on someone else's behalf?

No one should be managing your account but you. Our System Access Rules clearly state that you must keep your credentials secure and not share those credentials with any other person.  As a company, if you need to create additional logins for system users, please follow our instructions on creating colleague logins. 


Rail Industry Workers should never share their credentials, even with their employer.


What do I do if my account has been compromised?

Please contact us as soon as possible so we can assist in securing your account.
