To access Click prior to their start date, new faculty members must obtain and activate their NetID. Future faculty please see the Pre-Onboarding Document (PDF).

Click access is granted to all future faculty members with an active MSU NetID. Requesting access as a Click Affiliate is not required.

Please contact Kelly Keenan kkeenan1@hfhs.org to initiate the MSU Affiliate process.

Students not enrolled in classes for the current semester will not have access to Click, even if they are listed on a Click project.

To access Click when not currently enrolled, the student's department must submit an Access Request (Default Form) to request access as a Click Affiliate.

Does the external researcher need access to view or edit studies in Click?

• If yes, request a NetID/Click Affiliate access.
• If no, do not request NetID/Click Affiliate access. External team members can be added to the study team through a document upload and without a NetID.

The individual who needs access to MSU online systems will need to read the MSU Institutional Data Policy (IDP) and sign the IDP Acknowledgement form. The responsibility for training and oversight of the IDP lies with individual MSU units. The individual should work with their department, college, or administrative unit to complete this form. More information at: https://tech.msu.edu/about/guidelines-policies/idp-acknowledgement-form/

If an external (non-MSU) team member will require log in access to Click, a NetID will need to be obtained by the sponsoring department through the MSU ID Office. Please visit the MSU ID Office website for information on how to obtain a NetID. 

Once a NetID is obtained, the external team member will need to activate the NetID and establish Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) access by registering a credential. The MSU SecureIT website has more information about establishing MFA access.  

A department can request access to Click by completing an Access Request form. The request should come from the department of the individual who needs access. Once the request is completed, it will be routed to the requestor’s department, security contact or department head for signature.
