How do I add new users to the system?

User Management is a feature in MACPro that works in conjunction with the CMS EIDM user identification and authentication system. To request access to the MACPro application, a user must first go to the Enterprise Identity Management Portal (EIDM: https://portal.cms.gov ) and create an EIDM ID. Once an ID is created, the user must request access to the MACPro application by way of an EIDM role. Once their EIDM role request is approved, they may access MACPro via the link https://macpro.cms.gov  and enter their newly created EIDM credentials to log in. Once in MACPro, the user must request their MACPro roles and attributes via My User Profile under the Records tab. MACPro user role requests are approved by the State System Administrator, CMS System Administrator, or CMS Role Approver. Further detailed instructions can be found in the reference documents posted to Medicaid.gov (https://www.medicaid.gov/state-resource-center/medicaid-and-chip-program-portal/medicaid-and-chip-program-portal.html).

What does the error message "Session Timed Out" mean?

The system automatically times users out and sends an error message when a user does not navigate the application within 60 minutes. When a 'Session Timed Out' error message appears, a loss of data may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to continually save your work every ten minutes.

Please take special note, writing in a text box for 60 minutes does not count as refreshing the page. You must select save or navigate through the application to avoid being timed out.

I uploaded a document but it is taking a while to save, what should I do?

Once you upload a document, the system redirects you to a loading page. On this page there should be a green button labeled "Refresh". If it takes more than several minutes to upload your document you may hit the "Refresh" button. Do not navigate away from this page, otherwise it could cause a delay in the submission package process.
