Requesting Applications in the New NDE Portal

Article Contents

In the New NDE Portal:

  • Users request the access they need
  • Access is granted through Roles (groups of one or more applications)
  • District Administrators (or Proxy Admins) approve requests
  • New applications are automatically added to certain roles by NDE

Unlike the Legacy NDE Portal, no activation codes are used.

Before You Start

You must be able to sign in to the New NDE Portal using:

  • District SSO (NebraskaCloud)
  • Microsoft
  • Google
  • Email + Password (if you created a local New NDE Portal account)

If your district is not listed on the login screen, use the alternative login link:

“If your District/System is not listed… click here.”

Requesting Access to Role or Applications

1. Open the Request Access Page

Once signed in:

  1. Select Profile.
  2. Click Requests.
  3. The New Request form is populated at the top of the screen
    • Required fields are marked with an asterisk.

2. Complete the Access Request Form

The New Request form includes the following fields:

EdOrg (Required)

  • This is the District or School System you want access to
    • If you signed in with SSO, it will default to the school’s name
    • Alternative Sign-In methods, you will have to request access to the district or school system you are needing access to.

Application (Optional)

  • You may select a specific application to narrow down Roles automatically OR
  • Leave blank

Role (Required)

  • This is the actual access you are requesting.
  • Roles may include multiple applications or a single application.
    • Examples:
      • Data Steward (multiple applications)
      • SPED Director (multiple applications)
      • ADVISER Person ID-District (single application)
  • See section #5 Understanding Roles for further details below

Reason (Optional)

  • You may add a short explanation for your Administrator.

3. Submit Request

After completing the form:

  1. Click Submit.
  2. Your request will appear in:
    • Profile > Requests > All Requests (shows your active and closed requests)
  3. The request is automatically routed to:
    • Your District Administrator, or
    • A Proxy Admin if assigned

4. What Happens After You Submit a Request

Administrator Review

Your District Administrator can:

  • Approve
  • Edit
  • Deny

If Approved

  • Access will display immediately in your Application section on the Profile page
    • If the Role contains multiple applications, all will appear in your list in this section.

If Denied

  • The request will move to the Closed tab
  • You may submit a new request if needed

5. Understanding Roles

The New NDE Portal uses Roles to control access. Roles may:

  • Contain one application
  • Contain multiple applications
  • Automatically update as NDE adds new applications to the system

Example:

When ADVISER Validation moves into the New NDE Portal, users with the Data Steward role will automatically receive access.

For help determining which Role you need, contact your District Administrator or Proxy Admin.
You can view them under: Contacts > My District Admin in your account

6. Common Issues & How to Fix Them

EdOrg Missing or Incorrect

  • New NDE Portal may not know your district (common for nonpublic schools).
  • You must request your EdOrg during the request process.

No Roles Displaying

  • Ensure your EdOrg is correctly selected.
  • Try adding an Application filter to narrow down roles.

Applications Missing After Approval

  • Roles often include multiple applications—check your Applications section on the Profile page.
  • Some applications may still be in the process of migrating from the Legacy NDE Portal.
