Below is a screenshot of the Home page. All resources and pages within Generate can be accessed from the **Home** page.

## User Roles There are two types of user roles in Generate: Reviewer and Administrator. The SEA determines the process for establishing user accounts and assigning Generate roles to individuals via Active Directory services. Active Directory is a function of the state’s operating system and is not included with the CIID installation. The functions you can perform in Generate depend on the user role to which you are assigned: ### Reviewer Role As a Generate Reviewer, you will have access to all features and functionality described within this document, including the Toggle feature in [Settings](/generate-documentation/user-guide/settings.md). Generate Reviewers do not have access to the Generate Data Store in Settings. Generate Reviewers are typically program personnel such as EDFacts Coordinators, Data Managers, Data Stewards, or other staff responsible for the data and for running and reviewing reports and confirming record counts. ### Administrator Role As a Generate Administrator, you will have access to the same features and functionality as the Generate Reviewer. The difference is that Administrators can also access the Data Store in Settings. The Data Store provides the interface for moving the data from the state’s longitudinal data system, or another source, into the Generate Operational Data Store (ODS), and the Reporting Data Store (RDS). The Administrator role is typically assigned to technical staff with a knowledge of the state’s source systems and Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) processes. For example, the Administrator role might be assigned to a Database Administrator, or someone responsible for processing and submitting the EDFacts files through EDPass. Anyone with the applicable knowledge and skills can be assigned to this role. ## Logging In Once you have been assigned a role and your login information has been established by Active Directory, you can log into the application.

Enter your username in the **UserName** field at the top right-hand corner of the application, as shown below. 2. Enter your password in the **Password** field. 3. Click the **LOG IN** button.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://center-for-the-integration-of-id.gitbook.io/generate-documentation/user-guide/getting-started/user-roles-and-logging-in.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
