Getting Ready for the Migration● To get a role, you will create a new account on beta.SAM.gov (You can do this now!)

● There are 3 ways to get a role○ You may migrate a role from a legacy system

■ You will need your legacy system username and password for each system you migrate

■ Make sure your legacy password for each system is up-to-date○ Some (typically non-administrative) roles may be requested

■ For a small number of cases users with sub-tier or office is not active in the modernized federal hierarchy, will need to request a new role

○ You may be assigned a role

● Role management and permissions for industry are still under development
