Setting up multi-site access for co-administration of SIMS ID
SSUs setting up the multisite links between the SSU and their supported schools for the first time can request assistance from the SIMS ID team through your ESS support contact.
Linking schools to your SSU to allow you to co-administer the site is a self-serve activity initiated by the school.
Full information can be found in the Self service multisite user process

One of my schools is on Hosted/Connected – what now?
SSU/MAT central staff can be enabled to access hosted/connected SIMS at the schools they support. Once the SSU/MAT member of staff is a multisite user at the school a local site administrator can grant access to Hosted/Connected SIMS
As this user will not have a people record in SIMS, the user will need to be mapped in SIMS System Manager To do this * Create a user record and map the user name (using the magnifying glass) to the 'user name' of the member of the SSU site .
