Why apply to become an Organisational Administrator (OA)?

In order to access, add new or edit existing planning, funding or project-based information in the IDP Nerve Centre System, municipalities and government departments need to designate their own IDPNC Organisational Administrator. Administrators will be responsible for validating and assigning user permissions to users within their own organisation.

User permissions are allocated in two ways:

1. The user requests a certain type of user permission by completing the online "Register as a New User" form. The request will be forwarded to the Organisational Administrator for validation.  Administrators can change the requested permission if considered inappropriate. Organisations without dedicated IDPNC Administrators, will be forwarded to the National IDPNC System Administrator.
2. The Organisational Administrator adds new users with associated permissions directly in the IDPNC by making use of the e-Admin Application.

Registered users who require additional permissions at a later date, will need to apply via their IDPNC Organisational Administrator.
