VITA Identity Manager (VIM) is VITA's identity management system designed to streamline the creation and administration of user account requests and provide a means for users to securely maintain their own account details.
If you try to gain access to your application and cannot get in using your email address as your username and your previous password, please call the VCCC at (866) 637-8482 or email at vccc@vita.virginia.gov.
What does VITA Identity Manager (VIM) do for me?
Most importantly, VIM allows you to request an account as well as electronic access to certain VIM-enabled applications without having to contact the the business owner and/or the VCCC. In addition, VIM provides self-service to allow the user to update account information such as their email and contact information.
Currently, you need only one VIM account to access the following VIM-enabled applications:
To request a VIM account for the first time, click here: https://accessidm.vita.virginia.gov/external/newaccountregistration.aspx. The tool will guide you through the steps to create your account profile and submit the request. Instructions to Request VIM Access (pdf)
If you already have a VIM account and wish to request access to a VIM-enabled website or application, logon to VIM, at https://accessidm.vita.virginia.gov/externalauth/login.aspx and select the application that you would like access. VIM will guide you through the access request process. Permissions to the application are authorized by the application owner. Additional VIM links are found in toolbar below.

VIM FAQs
To request a VIM account for the first time, visit the homepage of the application you wish to access and look for the VIM toolbar or go directly the VIM tool https://accessidm.vita.virginia.gov/externalauth/login.aspx. The toolbar will guide you through the steps to create your account profile, answer two security questions and submit the request. Once your VIM account is approved and active, you will still need to request access for any additional individual application accounts.

If you do not have a Commonwealth of Virginia employee email account and do not remember what email account you registered with, please request a new VIM account. It will tell you if the account already exists. If it does, then proceed to "Forgot my Password" and it will step you through the process to reset your password.
The VIM Profile Manager is also used to update your user account profile. Your account profile consists of your first name, last name, email address, telephone number and two security questions. You will be asked to confirm your email address each time you enter the Profile Manager.
Visit https://accessidm.vita.virginia.gov/externalauth/UpdateAccount.aspx to access the profile manager and follow the on-screen instructions to update this information.
You will use the same VIM account and password to access many of the VIM-enabled applications, once authorized to do so by the application owner. If you need to access a different application, and you already have a VIM account, simply visit the homepage of the application you wish to access. Look for the VIM toolbar on your application or go directly to the VIM tool https://accessidm.vita.virginia.gov/externalauth/login.aspx. The tool will guide you through the application access request process. You will be notified via email once the application owner authorizes access to the application.
To reset a forgotten password, the VIM account must be registered and two security questions must be set up. If they were not set up, you will receive an error when trying to do a forgotten password inquiry. Please contact the VCCC at 1-(866)-637-8482 or by email at vccc@vita.virginia.gov. Please indicate whether you have a Commonwealth of Virginia employee email or a general user email registered with VIM. Once the VCCC resets your password, the first time you logon, you will be required to set up two security questions that will enable the "Forgot My Password" feature.
If you are unable to use any of the self-service features, or if you are not sure if you have a VIM account, contact the VCCC at 1-(866)-637-8482 or by email at vccc@vita.virginia.gov
