With User Profiles, you can easily update and manage your profile information, ensuring accurate details across our platforms.“Remember Me” for Easier Logins
Say hello to hassle-free logins! Our convenient "Remember Me" feature allows you to stay signed in securely, so you don’t need to type in your login credentials every time you log in.
Getting Started With Identity Service
Identity Service is only available to clients with a cloud-hosted database. If you would like to upgrade to a cloud-hosted Sumac database for free, contact Annie Kearns.
We will be migrating our customers to the new Identity Service in stages. Once your database is migrated, you will be taken to a web page like the one you see below.
You can then follow these 3 steps to start using Identity Service.
#1 Login
Enter the username and password that you use to login to Sumac.
#2 Complete Your Profile
Enter your email address, first name, and last name. This will be used to validate and update your account and password resets.
#3 Verify Your Email address
Lastly, you will be directed to check your inbox to verify your email address to make sure your account is protected.
That’s it! You are set up with Identity Service and logged into Sumac.
