FireNet is a collaborative platform for both Guest Members (using your own email address) as well as Named FireNet Accounts (having a firenet.gov account). Other .gov and external collaborators (such as gmail for example) can now authenticate into our collaborative space without a firenet.gov account.
Below is a comparison between Named Accounts and Guest Membership:
To learn more about these different account types, please follow the links below:
- Guest Membership
- Users can gain access to MS Teams and SharePoint to collaborate. A personal email address is used to authenticate into Microsoft and our environment.
- Please visit the Guest Membership Page for guidance on using a Guest Membership or how to interact with them.
- Named Account
- Named Accounts are setup based on recommendation from the business as noted in the NWCG guidance here.
- The primary reason a user needs a Named FireNet Account is to access a Shared Inbox.
- If you are a Federal Employee please visit the Federal Users Page.
- If you are not a Federal Employee (do not have a PIV card) please visit the Non Federal Users Page.
