• What is the JPS Identity Automation Portal?

    The JPS Identity Automation portal allows the District to create and manage employee accounts, provides single sign-on (SSO) capabilities for core District applications such as email, while at the same time providing a portal for employees to securely connect to educational and professional applications.

    The JPS portal is a "one-stop-shop" where employees can manage their passwords and their multifactor authentication (MFA) applications.

    As the portal matures over time, many of the District's current applications will be folded into the portal.

    Beginning March 10, 2022, all new employees will create their own accounts using this portal.  The process is automatic for all employees. 

    Employees will be able to claim their account 24 hours after the basic demographic information is entered in Marathon and their status is Active.
