AFPC changes AMS access procedures Published Dec. 19, 2005 RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- In a recent change to improve security and standardize access controls, access to the Assignment Management System is now controlled by the Air Force Personnel Center's Secure Web site. Airmen can access the AFPC Secure site through the public Web site at www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/ by establishing a user identification and password or by using the common access card. Once Airmen enter the secure Web site, it will provide them automatic access to the AMS application and others such as the virtual Military Personnel Flight. Commanders must delegate higher-level AMS access roles for their staff. The personnel center's AMS help desk will no longer assign these roles to any Airman, except commanders. Major command access roles will be granted through designated major command AMS representatives. Commanders must revalidate their staffs' higher-level access roles by the following dates: -- Delegated commanders role, no later than Dec. 31. -- Requisition manager role, no later than Jan. 31. -- Commander support staff role, no later than Feb. 28. Any Airman whose higher-level access is not revalidated by the deadline will have the higher-level access revoked. Beginning Feb. 15, the common access card will be required for higher-level access in the AMS. Currently, during the trial period, designated Airmen may gain higher-level access with their user identifications and passwords. However, they should verify their access card works during this time. For more information on enabling CAC readers Airmen should contact unit client support administrators. For questions about AFPC Secure, call DSN 665-5004, commercial (210) 565-5004 or (800) 616-3775.
