DEFINITION AND GLOSSARY

The European Central Bank (ECB) Identity Portal (https://id.ecb.europa.eu) is the online platform for the
central identification, authentication and account management of users of ECB applications that are
accessible to third-parties.

User accounts can be managed by:

• ECB staff
• A third-party through Delegated User Administrators and Delegated Access Administrators
nominated by the third-party and confirmed by ECB staff

For assistance please contact the ECB Support Centre at [email protected] or +49 69 1344

Glossary:

User: an authenticated and authorised natural person, who, on behalf of a third party, has access to the
ECB Identity Portal and is assigned access rights in accordance with their role.

Delegated User Administrator (DUA): an authenticated and authorised natural person, who, on behalf
of a third-party, can manage users of their organisation that might have access to ECB managed
applications.

Delegated Access Administrator (DAA): an authenticated and authorised natural person, who, on
behalf of a third-party, can assign application access rights to third-party users created by the DUA, in

PROCEDURES

1. LOGIN

Logging in to the ECB Identity Portal requires two-factor authentication.

The login window below (Fig.1) is shown when the user accesses, via a browser, the ECB Identity Portal
at https://id.ecb.europa.eu.

Login step one: Provide user email and password.

Login step two: Provide the six-digit code sent to the user’s mobile number via SMS or voice message.

(NB: The code expires after three minutes and the procedure has to be restarted.)

The user can change the authentication method by selecting either “Resend code using Voice” or
“Resend code using SMS” (Fig.2). This will restart the login process. The method chosen will become the

4. PROVIDE ACCESS TO ECB APPLICATIONS

Only a “Delegated Access Administrator” can provide access to ECB applications.

User access must be enabled for ECB applications (e.g. ASTRA, IMAS, etc.) by an administrator
assigning a group membership.

Group membership is assigned through using the “Assign membership” button as illustrated below:

Click “Save” to finish the assigning group membership.

Group membership will grant predefined permission levels for the selected application. For some
applications (e.g. the IMAS Portal), administrators may set more specific permissions using the user
management system in the relevant application (see the following section).

Access to the applications can be removed using the same interface.

5. MANAGING USER PERMISSIONS ON THE IMAS PORTAL

Only users with a “Delegated Access Administrator” (DAA) role can manage user permissions on
the IMAS Portal. When a new user logs into the IMAS Portal for the first time, an account is
automatically created.

To manage user permissions on the IMAS Portal an administrator must take the following steps.

Select the “Manage Users” tab on the dashboard page, or type in this URL:
https://imas.ecb.europa.eu/useradmin/

If the new user is not displayed after first logon, the DAA should refresh the “Manage Users” page. When
the user whose permissions need to be modified is visible in the listing, the DAA selects the user and
makes the necessary modifications.

After the DAA has granted the necessary permissions to the new user, the user should refresh the IMAS
Portal page to see the effect of the newly granted permissions.
