Access WAMS ID
Before you can start using the any WISE applications you'll need to set up a Web Access Management System (WAMS) Account.

Remember, you'll need a separate account for each environment.

Visit https://uaon.wisconsin.gov/WAMS/home (UAT) to create a WAMS ID for the sandbox.

From this website, you can:

• Self-Register (Request a Wisconsin User ID and Password.)

• Manage your profile (email, passwords and other information)

• Recover your account if you have forgotten your ID or password

After you obtain a WAMS ID, fill out this vendor form:

1. Select Inquiry Type = “Request Access UAT Environment (Sandbox)”

2. Include your WAMS ID in the “Additional Details” section, Admin v Read-only, in the “Additional Details” section.

Visit the (PROD) production site to:

• Create a WAMS ID/Self-register
  

• Manage your profile (email, passwords and other information)

• Recover your account if you have forgotten your ID or password

After you obtain a WAMS ID, fill out this vendor form:

1. Select Inquiry Type = “Request Access to Ed-Fi Credential Application - Production Environment”

2. Include your WAMS ID and access type, Admin v Read-only, in the “Additional Details” section.

Data management

As with the production environment, The Local Education Agency (LEA) and/or its vendor are responsible for overseeing data management. The data within the User Acceptance environment is not a replica of production data; instead, it is under the management of the vendor.

For a vendor to have access to the Ed-Fi API, the Local Education Agency (LEA) needs to use the Ed-Fi Credential application to manage application credentials and define what school year the vendors have access, when applicable to avoid overlapping services. With a Key and Secret and URL, the LEA is able to provide the vendor the appropriate information needed for a vendor to access the API.

Ed-Fi Credential Application

WISE Home (UAT) hosts the WISE applications you have been granted access.

The Ed-Fi Credential application provides vendors with valuable information. The menus available include:

• Profile: Hosts a list of vendors users and Ed-fi URLs

• Credentials: Used to manage encryption credentials. Here, you can view API subscriptions as well as reset your credentials and “Data Cleanup” data by endpoint.

• LEA Monitoring: A place to monitor error volumes and common errors.

• LEA Info: Where you’ll find LEA ID (aka Ed-Fi ID), School ID/Code, the school’s name, and a WIR ID when available.

• Vendor Resources: Used to post reference materials to clients and DPI.

Need LEAs for testing? Fill out the vendor form. Inquiry type - General Question. In the Details section, include the LEA ID and name to be added.

WISE Home (PROD) hosts the WISE applications you have been granted access.

Ed-Fi URLs

Ed-Fi Credential (UAT) provides users with a list of Authentication, Base, and Swagger Production URLs.

Ed-Fi URLs differ by environment and the version of the Ed-Fi API.

Ed-Fi Credential (PROD)

Ed-Fi URLs differ by environment and the version of the Ed-Fi API.

WISEdata Portal

Vendors can view data submitted in the UAT environment through the API by using SQL queries or Swagger.

To understand what the LEA sees from the WISEdata Portal, you can request read-only access for each LEA individual. When you select the “Request Access” function from the menu bar on the WISEhome page.

This will open the Customer Request Access form. In the Comments state that you are a vendor with request details.

A message will be sent to the LEA’s District Security Administrator who will grant you read-only access to the production environment.
