Representing an entity

This article provides information and guides on accessing Environment Online when representing an entity. For example, if you are:

• an employee representing the organisation you work for, or
• a consultant completing work for an organisation or on behalf of another person.

Setting up a login method:

You can use any or all of the following three login methods to set up access to Environment Online:

• a Microsoft Work Account login.
• Digital Identity via myID and the WARAM.
• Sign up or log in with Your Email method.

Access to different Environment Online services and activities:

Users of Microsoft Work Account and Digital Identity login can undertake all Environment Online services and activities.

If you are using the Your Email login method to represent another entity (person, or organisation), the services and activties that you will then be able to undertake will be determined by the entity that you have been authorised to represent.

Individual users of the Your Email login method will have access to limited services on the platform. For example, they will be able to submit native vegetation clearing forms, but not interact with Environmental Protection Authority Impact Assessment applications. Additional functionality will be included for Your Email users as more services are brought into Environment Online. 

Setting up a Microsoft Work Account login:

• uses your entity's Microsoft Entra directory to authorise users of Environment Online. 
• assumes that your entity takes responsibility for proofing the identity of users. 
• requires a senior representative of your entity to authorise an IT Administrator to set up your Environment Online users. 
• requires completion of the Authorisation Form to set up your entity. 
• for an IT Administrator to initiate the login setup see the, Set up - Representing an entity using Microsoft Work Account login guide. 

Setting up Digital Identity:

• uses Digital Identity credentials (such as myID) to authorise your entity's Environment Online users.  
• uses Digital Identity credentials (such as myID) to prove the identity of users.  
• requires a senior representative of your entity to authorise a Service Administrator to add users associated with the entity in the WA Relationship Authorisation Manager (WARAM)
• requires completion of the Authorisation Form to set up the initial Service Administrator for your entity.
• see the Set up and log in - Representing an entity using Digital Identity. 

Setting up Your Email login:

• uses your email credentials and multi-factor authentication to provide an easy and secure way to log into Environment Online.
