The RIML Secure Access/Access Center () allows students, advisors, and administrators to securely and safely manage all things related to the Rhode Island Model Legislature. This is facilitated through RIML-issued Google accounts. All RIML members are required to use and maintain their RIML-issued Google accounts in order to participate in the program. In order to use the platform, advisors must first be registered and have an account created for their delegation. Then advisors will be able to create accounts for their students. Once registered, students will be able to register their bill titles and then submit completed bills. In order to begin this process, the steps below must be completed: {% content-ref url="/pages/-MOTMofATJw-jPnHUbOb" %} [Registering Delegations & Advisors](/accounts/registering-delegations-and-advisors) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-MOTMt-LdC9PKj9gKcip" %} [Registering Students](/accounts/registering-students) {% endcontent-ref %} # Registering Delegations & Advisors Advisor Accounts and Delegations must be created *before* students can be registered. The following delegations predated the Secure Access/Access Center and *do not need to be created*: * Barrington * Chariho * Coventry * Exeter West-Greenwich * Hendricken * La Salle * Mount Saint Charles * North Providence * Pilgrim * Prout * Saint Mary-Bay View * Saint Raphael Any additional delegations created for the 75th Rhode Island Model Legislature (2021-2022) and beyond will need to utilize this process. Delegations and advisors are linked together and created in a single step. A delegation can only have one advisor. Any school with more than one advisor must share the account for their delegation. ## Adding New Delegations & Advisors {% hint style="info" %} This process can only be completed by state coordinators/administrators. {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %} To add new delegations and advisors, follow the steps below. 1. Navigate to the [RIML Access Center](https://app.rimodellegislature.com). 2. In the left-hand menu, select "Admin." 3. In the top-right corner of the "User Management" section, click the **+** icon. 4. Enter the following information: 1. The delegation name (i.e. for "Jamestown High School," enter "Jamestown"). 2. The advisor's first and last name. 3. The advisor's school-issued email address. This is where their login credentials will be sent to (see example email below). 5. Click the "Create" button. The new advisor will receive an email like the one below with their login credentials. ![](/files/-MPQVAbLn1Bqy2IriWLc) # Registering Students Only Advisors can register their students. Accordingly, Advisors must first be registered: {% content-ref url="/pages/-MOTMofATJw-jPnHUbOb" %} [Registering Delegations & Advisors](/accounts/registering-delegations-and-advisors) {% endcontent-ref %} Once a Delegation has been created, its Advisor can register their students. ## Adding Students Adding students is a two-phase process. Advisors complete phase 1 (creating access codes). Students complete phase 2 (self-registering and signing-in to Secure Access for the first time). For student responsibilities during the registration process, see the link below: {% content-ref url="/pages/4oaGqqxRRDH2ESCdWwH5" %} [Student Responsibilities](/accounts/registering-students/student-responsibilities) {% endcontent-ref %} {% hint style="info" %} Both state coordinators and advisors can generate invitation codes for delegations. {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %} To add new students, follow the steps below. 1. Navigate to the [RIML Access Center](https://app.rimodellegislature.com). 2. In the left-hand menu, select "Delegation" 3. All active invitation tokens/codes will display in the table. **These tokens can be used unlimited times (by more than one student) until they expire.** 4. Generate a new code if none appear or if you would like a specific token for a specific use-case. Please see the video above for additional clarity. 5. Give the code to your student(s). The student will receive an email like the one below with their login credentials. ![](/files/-MPQX-msLispgH27MRNH) # Student Responsibilities Students must complete two steps to be considered fully-registered for the RIML program. 1. Self-Registering for an account. 2. Signing-into app.rimodellegislature.com (Secure Access) with their RICSS-issued (@rimodellegislature.com) Google Account. ### Access Code Students must ask their delegation advisor for an invitation code. If an advisor is unreachable, a state coordinator can also generate a code for a student. ### Self-Registration 1. Once a student has an invitation code, they should proceed to app.rimodellegislature.com. On the left, they can enter this access code. {% hint style="warning" %} Do not enter any spaces before or after the code. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} It can take approximately five seconds for the system to validate your code. Please be patient. If a button does not appear under your code to continue, as in the video below, contact a state coordinator or your advisor. {% endhint %} 2\. After filling out all information in the registration form, a student will receive an email like the one below. {% embed url="" %} {% hint style="warning" %} Students must be very cautious to enter the notifications email properly. This is where your new login information will be sent. Ensure to not place any spaces before or after the email address. {% endhint %} 3\. The student MUST then immediately go to app.rimodellegislature.com and sign in (use the "Google" button on the right and use the username/email and password provided in the email address). The student will receive an email like the one below with their login credentials. ![](/files/-MPQX-msLispgH27MRNH) # Switching to Password Login By default, all users will use their RICSS-issued (@rimodellegislature.com or @risocialstudies.org) Google Accounts to authenticate into the Secure Access system. However, some Chromebook-only school districts are unable to login to the system using this method, as it conflicts with their district-issued Google accounts. As a work-around, follow the instructions below to switch to a password-based login experience. {% hint style="info" %} These steps must be completed on a NON-Chromebook device, as the student or faculty member must log into Secure Access at least once (to switch to the password-based method). {% endhint %} {% tabs %} {% tab title="Instructions" %} 1. Navigate to and sign-in with your existing Google credentials. 2. Click your profile picture in the top-right, or go to . 3. Check the checkbox that says "Use password to login (unchecked allows the default of Google authentication)" 4. Upon checking this box, you will be logged out of Secure Access and sent a password-reset link to your @rimodellegislature.com or @risocialstudies.org gmail account. Check this email and click the link to set your password. 5. On subsequent logins, you will now be prompted for a password instead of a Google redirect. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Video Guide" %} {% embed url="" %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} {% hint style="warning" %} The link to choose your password is time-sensitive, so you should complete all these steps at the same time. If the link expires, you can always use the "Password Reset" button **AFTER** you enter your email at the login box. {% endhint %} # The Legislation Menu The legislation menu is used for (1) registering bill titles and (2) submitting completed bills that have already registered under that bill's title. ![](/files/-Md8IG0WRQHFdVNdvgX-) ### Pending Titles The Pending Titles section allows users to view all titles they have access to (varies based on student, advisor, and state coordinator). Titles that appear here are not completed; they have only been issued a number (automatically) and are in pending status until approved by (1) the student-author, (2) that student's advisor, and (3) a state coordinator. ### Pending Files The Pending Files section allows users to view all approved bill titles that still need to have completed bills attached (in the form of a PDF) via upload. Users have access Pending Files based on their role (varies based on student, advisor, and state coordinator). Entries that appear here are not completed; they have only been issued a number (automatically), have had their title approved, and are in pending status until (A) the student uploads the completed bill and (B) the completed bill is then approved by (1) that student's advisor and (2) a state coordinator. ### Adding New Titles The bill submission process begins by adding a new title for consideration and approval by the state coordinators. New titles are automatically assigned a number based on (1) the student-author's chamber and (2) sequentially. {% hint style="info" %} To register a new title, click the "+" button in the top-right corner of the Pending Titles section. {% endhint %} Read more about the legislative submission process below: {% content-ref url="/pages/-MNM538rQ-p\_Kh8TIJKx" %} [Submitting Legislation](/legislation/submitting-legislation) {% endcontent-ref %} # Submitting Legislation Submitting legislation is an annual process in which students register themselves along with their intended titles for their legislation, have extended time to write their legislation, and then submit their final copies of their legislation. An outline of this process is below. 1. Student selects an area of interest that they want to cover. 2. Student derives a thesis of what they want to change with their legislation. 3. Student creates a title for their legislation. 4. Student submits their title to their delegation advisor. 5. Student's delegation advisor submits their bill title to the state coordinators. 6. State coordinators assign a bill number to the bill title. 7. Student writes their bill and adds the assigned bill title. 8. Student submits their bill to their advisor. 9. Student's advisor submits their bill to the state coordinators. 10. State coordinators make the collective bills available to all students. This process has been digitized into two main areas that require participation from students, advisors, **and** state coordinators. The first process that must be completed to submit a bill is Bill Title Registration. {% content-ref url="/pages/-MNM6-wT3\_r4aGz8kEpq" %} [Bill Title Registration](/legislation/submitting-legislation/bill-title-registration) {% endcontent-ref %} The second process that must be completed is Bill File Submission. {% hint style="info" %} Bill File Submission CANNOT occur until Bill Title Registration is completed. {% endhint %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-MNM6GND9ZyHWtrLAwbU" %} [Bill File Submission](/legislation/submitting-legislation/bill-file-submission) {% endcontent-ref %} # Bill Title Registration ## Beginning 2023-2024 RIML Session {% hint style="info" %} As of the 2023-2024 RIML Session, bills do not require any approvals for titles and are automatically advanced to the [Bill File Submission](/legislation/submitting-legislation/bill-file-submission) step. {% endhint %} ## An Introduction Bill title registration is the process of a bill title being submitted by a student (or on a student's behalf) and then being assigned a bill number. Participation is required by all three levels of RIML participants (students, advisors, and state coordinators). #### Figure 1: Bill Title Registration ![](/files/-MNMV3DZDI7e8CnO-3Ml) {% hint style="info" %} In the diagram above, green arrows indicate forward progress, red arrows indicate backward progress, and green diamonds indicate completely registered bill titles. {% endhint %} As shown in the diagram, there is no direct relationship between advisors and state coordinators, other than to submit a bill. In other words, a state coordinator **cannot** create/reject a bill and then send it to an advisor; they can only send it to a student. Likewise, there is no direct relationship between a student and a state coordinator (a student **cannot** create a bill and then send it to a state coordinator; they can only send it to their advisor). This is to ensure a proper chain of approval has been accomplished on every bill title. Since students are directly responsible to their advisor, students can only *create* titles and send them to their advisor (superior transaction). Since advisors are directly responsible to the state coordinators, advisors can *either* send bills to their students (lowest subordinate transaction) or send bills to the state coordinators (superior transaction). Lastly, since state coordinators are the highest possible authority, they can *either* send a bill directly to a student (lowest subordinate transaction) or approve it. ## Getting Started Use the below links to help guide your involvement in this process. {% content-ref url="/pages/-Mc\_UZB6X-p9uQG4GKvI" %} [Students](/legislation/submitting-legislation/bill-title-registration/students) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-Mc\_UbTLi0ULgXKW9g4a" %} [Advisors](/legislation/submitting-legislation/bill-title-registration/advisors) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-Mc\_Ud1ZMDKshAiMEHMQ" %} [State Coordinators](/legislation/submitting-legislation/bill-title-registration/state-coordinators) {% endcontent-ref %} # Students {% hint style="info" %} As of July 17, 2021, state coordinators have the ability to turn off the ability for all students and advisors to submit legislation.

Use the information below to learn more. ## What is legislation data? Legislation data is all information (text, files, etcetera) that are related to a bill submitted to the RIML. This includes its title, number, assigned author, and committee assignment. ## When can data be changed? See the Data Change Policy for more information. {% content-ref url="/pages/-McgttSHHcYeKWtqyaf5" %} [Data Change Policy & Procedure](/legislation/data-change-policy-and-procedure) {% endcontent-ref %} ## What data can be changed? The only data that can be manually edited is the following (subject to the [Data Change Policy](/legislation/data-change-policy-and-procedure)): * Title * Author * Archived Status ## What happens if data cannot be changed? You must submit a new bill and request the old one be archived. First, create a support ticket requesting archival of the old bill. Then, submit a new one with the corrected data. {% content-ref url="/pages/-MbieAX8f-9quTpnG92-" %} [myTickets](/ticket/untitled-1) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-MNM538rQ-p\_Kh8TIJKx" %} [Submitting Legislation](/legislation/submitting-legislation) {% endcontent-ref %} # Data Change Policy & Procedure The policy is subject to change. The RIML reserves the right to approve or deny, in part or in whole, any and all requests to change or alter data and information submitted under the [Terms of Use](/terms-of-use#user-generated-contributions) for any reason and at its sole discretion. Users are responsible for entering data in timely, accurate, and appropriate fashions, such as, but not limited to, exercising proper grammar, using proper capitalization, and entering current information. ### Bills Requests to change bill information must originate in the form of a [ticket](/ticket/untitled-1) opened by the student-author of the bill in question. Once one or more state coordinators/administrators have reviewed the request, they will determine if (a) the request is denied or (b) the request can proceed. If the request can proceed, the advisor of the student who opened the ticket must view the ticket in question from their account and enter a comment consenting to any or all change-requests, in part or in whole. Any denial by an advisor, in part or in whole, shall constitute a denial of the request (in that part or in whole respectively). If and when the advisor consents to the requested changes, a state coordinator or administrator shall proceed to make the changes as requested, so long as they still consent to the desired changes thereof. Once the changes are completed, the ticket-request shall be closed. Once a request has been (1) denied or (2) completed and its ticket changed to closed status, no additional changes may be made unless a new ticket is opened. ### Users The following data pertains to user accounts. #### Names Any user may submit a request for a name-change request by-way of a [ticket](/ticket/untitled-1) without advisor or state coordinator approval, provided that the requested name is the student's full, legal name. Any name-change requests beyond this are subject to advisor and state coordinator/administrator review. #### Passwords Any advisor may submit a request for a password-reset request by-way of a [ticket](/ticket/untitled-1) without state coordinator approval, provided that the student from which the password-reset request originates is a member of that advisor's delegation. Only a delegation's own advisor may submit password-reset requests for that delegation's students. #### Email Addresses Email address cannot be changed, unless a name-change request has been approved as defined above. Email address changes must be requested; if the request does not explicitly name an email address change, none shall be completed. # myTickets The ticket center allows users to submit work-order requests for changes, as well as other questions regarding the entire Model Legislature program. {% embed url="" %}
