Why do I need to sign in?

Access to SFIA content

One of the major functions of this site is provide access to SFIA content in an easily searchable and usable format, alongside guidance and other supporting materials.

Only the SFIA Foundation, the owners of SFIA, have the right to distribute SFIA content freely. As a SFIA Accredited Partner we can provide access to SFIA content as part of an application or as part of our services - by having users of this website register we are using this website as an application and providing a service to you and are therefore operating within the SFIA licence terms and our .

Access to additional content

Some of the additional content we provide comes with terms of use, either from ourselves or other 3rd parties, or is only relevant to users of specific tools. We will selectively show this additional content to relevant users who are signed-in, and where needed we can request acceptance of specific terms of use before granting access, either to individual or an organisation.

Access to organisational content

If your organisation has subscribed on your behalf you may have access to additional resources approved by your organisation (e.g. access to resources or tools).

We can also host organisational specific content in the My Organisation category on this website (visible only if there content available to you). Typically this might contain details of your SFIA project team or other internal contacts, links to your intranet or other internal resources, recordings of presentations delivered to your organisation, etc, and allows this website to be a primary support resource for all your organisations SFIA-related activities.
