The Ministry of Forests and Range applies the following policy for
processing access requests to the RESULTS application through the
ministry’s online access request service. This service is part of the
ministry’s commitment to maintain application security and monitor data
quality within RESULTS.
User ID
IDIR and Business BCeID accounts must be in place before RESULTS access can
be requested. IDIR accounts are requested through the Systems Access Approver of
the organizational unit (BCTS, district, regional, and headquarters MOFR office)
for whom the employee or contractor processes RESULTS data.
Issuance of Business BCeID accounts.
Non-transferable
RESULTS access is non-transferable. Each user must operate under a unique
IDIR or Business BCeID account. Users who share userids to process RESULTS data
will have their IDIR or Business BCeID accounts removed from the RESULTS
application.
Authorization
Users must be authorized by the appropriate organization official prior to
being granted access to RESULTS. The organization official will be held partly
accountable for the activity of users who are authorized access to the RESULTS
application.
IDIR users who request authorization for access levels that are not
“Approval” or “Preview”, must be authorized by Operations Managers in charge of
the organizational units (district MoFR or BCTS offices).
IDIR users who request “Approval” and “Preview” access must be authorized by
District Managers in charge of the district MoFR offices.
Business BCeID users must be authorized by their Client Signatories (e.g.,
Woodlot owners, CEO, President, Operations Managers) who are authorized by the
company to commit the company to legal reforestation obligations.
User Training
RESULTS users must complete RESULTS training. On January 1, 2008, applicants
will be granted access to RESULTS after completion of
RESULTS training or by
demonstrating competency through on-line testing.
The particular modules that each user must complete depends on his/her
specific job function. For example, users with Update or Declaration access may
or may not submit stocking standards. If they do, then they should complete the
Stocking Standards module. Each user should read the descriptions of the
training modules to determine which ones cover topic areas in the users’ job
functions with respect to RESULTS usage.
RESULTS training programs are subject to revision. Applicants who request
access during periods where training is not scheduled, should contact
RESULTSAccess@gov.bc.ca for
information on the ministry's procedures for demonstrating competency prior to
being granted access.

User Audits
The ministry monitors user activity. Users who do not process RESULTS data in
accordance with legislated requirements and RESULTS submission procedures are
subject to having their access revoked, and in some cases, regulatory penalties
may be applied against the companies on whose behalf the submissions are made.
Renewal
Users assigned temporary access to RESULTS may request an extension of the
expiry date.
- Training. If the expiry is pending completion of training, notify the
access grantor after training modules have been completed.
- Contract expiry. If the expiry is set according to the expiry date of a
contract, the ministry contract administrator should notify the access
grantor with an extension date of the contract.
Termination
RESULTS access can be terminated at any time by sending an email notification
to the access grantor requesting that access be removed.

are required to complete confidentiality agreements. User activity is subject to
monitoring by the ministry for compliance with the terms of the confidentiality
agreements.
