Enable Discovery for FedRAMP® Customers

The Customer Profile tab in the FedRAMP® portal has the "Enable Discovery" option, which is an option to make your departments discoverable and available for association with other FedRAMP® customers or agencies.  All customer admins must enable discovery for at the customer level and then for each department.

In the FedRAMP® environment, these cross associations are all performed by customer admins.  The first step is to enable discovery for the customer.  After that, go to departments tab and select individual departments for discovery.  Even if the customer has only one department, the single department must be selected for discovery. 

Enable Discovery

Confirm "Ok" on the pop up window. 

The popup window is a place to enter information that may be viewed by other agencies. 

It's critical that the point of contact details are accurate and belong to a customer admin, as all email association requests and confirmations will go to and from this email address.  

At any time, customer admins may update this customer discovery information by selecting "Update Discovery Contact."  It's critical to update this information in the event of a personnel change of the customer admin. 

At any point, a customer admin may opt to disable the discovery feature by disabling discovery. 

Enable Discovery for Departments

Next, navigate to the Departments tab and select a department and click Enable Discovery. 

Once discovery is enabled at the department level, your department will be able to associate with other departments from different discovery enabled customers.
