3.1	User	Access,	Roles	and	Privileges	
The users of the application are the members of the national team(s) of non-Annex I Parties involved in the 
preparation of their national GHG inventories, and each user is assigned a role.  
The table below explains the different levels of the access rights and corresponding explanation for each role.  It is 
important to note that the roles are not necessarily identical to a person’s title (e.g. National Focal Point) and that a 
person can take on several roles (which may be necessary for some countries). 
There are three types of access rights (roles) to the NAIIS application: 
 Type of access rights for specific roles  Process to gain access rights 
National Focal Point (NFP): Will be responsible for 
identifying the members of the team and is the only 
one who has the right to approve the submission of 
any GHG inventory. 
 
NFPs will have the option to create, edit, update or 
delete all of their country’s GHG data entries, and 
grant access rights to the ‘Project Manager’ and 
'Sectoral Experts' for their country if they choose. 
Parties that have not already requested and received 
access rights can obtain them by having their National 
Focal Point contact: naiisapp@unfccc.int 
(Note:  Some Parties may have more than one individual 
acting as the NFP; however the system can 
accommodate only one account per Party). 
Project Manager (PM): Will have the right to 
enter/edit data in all sectors, as well as to generate 
an official submission to the UNFCCC, and grant 
access rights to the 'Sectoral Experts' for their 
country. 
Entities will be provided these rights by their NFP. If a Party 
decides to grant access to a PM, their NFP will be able to 
create such user account on the NAIIS application. 
Sectoral Experts (SE): Will have the right to 
enter/edit data in respective sector(s). 
Experts will be provided these rights by their NFP and PM.  If 
a Party decides to grant access to Sectoral Experts, the NFP 
will be able to create such user accounts and assign them in 
respective sector(s). 
 
Access for the NFP will be provided by the secretariat, upon request; however, the accounts of the other users within 
the country shall only be created by the NFP.
