Understanding Policy and Claims Presentment Self-Service

This section discusses:

Self-service access.
Self-service management.

Self-Service Access

Two types of self-service users can access the site:

Guest users.
Registered users.

Guest User Access

When users first access the site, they are automatically logged in using the INSGUEST ID that is identified in the configuration properties file. As long as that ID has the appropriate permissions, users can use the site with limited access.

Then, users can sign in with their own user ID and password to further identify themselves and get additional access. Even after users sign in with their own user IDs, the guest ID controls certain site characteristics, such as the site language.

If you have more than one guest ID, users can switch to a different one by selecting a value from the drop-down list box on the page. Depending on how you define guest IDs, the IDs may control the site language, the business unit whose data appears, or other site characteristics.

Registered User Access

Visitors can register as personal users by clicking the Personal User Registration link on the Sign In page and establishing a personal user ID. This sign-in prompts the system to create a consumer record for that person, and the registration causes the system to create a user ID that is associated with the new consumer record. The visitor can use this ID to sign in on subsequent visits to the site. The user ID is cloned from the guest ID that was active when the user registered. Menu navigation options and, in some cases, page appearance depend on the user's role or roles.

Users who forget their passwords can click the Password Hint link to request a new password.

Change Policy

Click to submit the policy change request. When the user clicks this button, more information will be captured to complete the change and a confirmation number is returned.
