DWL Password Changes – Requirement

As a security measure, those requesting a DWL (District Wide Login) password change must do so via their site secretary or administrator through a work order or by the UMRA tool accessible by the site secretary. This may also be done in person via the site technician, provided they know the staff member, and they will create the work order. This is to make sure that we can verify the identity of the person requesting the password change.

The work order should include the staff member’s first and last name. A new password will be generated and listed in the completed work order. The completed work order will be shared with the site secretary or administrator who can inform the staff member of their new password.

The appropriate work order path is Technology Services > Administration > Accounts > District

We recommend that staff sign up for self service password management at https://webapps.prn.bc.ca:8443 so that they can change their passwords themselves if need be.
