How to request access to log into WA Portal
Meet with the WA Portal Administrator
We hold an introductory meeting with anyone interested in creating an account to use WA Portal. The meeting will help us understand how you hope to use this online platform and will give you and your team an initial orientation to the site's features. If we're all agreed on moving forward, a WA Portal Administrator will start the account set-up process for you and your team.
If you need to change or add new people to help with editing a webpage, email the Portal Administrator to request they be onboarded.
Invite members to use the team collaboration space
Once a new team has been created and approved by the Collaboration Portal team, anyone designated Team Manager can invite participants to begin using the site. The automated process is described below.
Important first step: Before sending out your invitations, we recommend sending an onboarding message first. This Word document (DOCX) offers text you can use and details on the registration process.
Using the invitation process for the Portal team space
To bring members into your team you will invite them from the team space itself. This process only requires their email address and sends automated messages from WA Portal (Healthier Washington Collaboration Portal) to help them set up their account and quickly begin engaging with you and other members on the site.
In the right navigation sidebar within your team click the Manager Tasks drop down.
Use this button to add someone who already has a WA Portal account.
You must use their email address for the system to locate their account.
Use this option to send just one person an invitation to create an account on WA Portal and join your team.
Use this option to send multiple people an invitation to create an account on WA Portal and join your team.
Important: Once your participants have set up their password, they must visit the My Portal page and then click "accept" on your invitation. They will not be able to access your team until they accept on the site. Using onboarding messaging can help ensure they follow this step.
