Roles and Responsibilities


What is an Agency Appointing Authority?

The Agency Appointing Authority (AAA), designated by the agency, identifies the DAR Administrator(s) (and any subsequent changes to those designated as DAR Administrator(s)) to the Networx User Administration Group (UAG) via the CPNI Form 1 - Agreement to Protect CPNI. Contact your account representative for a copy of the CPNI forms.

Return to Top

What is a DAR Administrator?

The DAR Administrator is appointed in writing by the Agency Appointing Authority (AAA).

The DAR Administrator will specify to the Networx User Administration Group via the CPNI Form 2 - Authorization and De-authorization of Access to CPNI the authority granted to each user as well as any subsequent changes to that authority.

Return to Top

What is a DAR?

DAR Administrators have the authority to designate individuals who are authorized to submit orders under the Networx Enterprise contract for their agency using the NECC – Order Services tool. The ordering authority of a Designated Agency Representative (DAR) is based on agency hierarchy codes (AHCs), contract, type of service, and other limitations. Verizon must have CPNI Form 2 - Authorization and De-authorization of Access to CPNI on file before the user can register and request entitlements to the NECC – Order Services Tool. Individuals authorized on CPNI Form 2 to create and/or view orders are referred to as users, as only DARs can commit funds by being authorized to submit orders.

Pre-Registration Steps


What is CPNI and why are forms required?

Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) includes information about the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location, and amount of use of telecommunications or interconnected voice over Internet Protocol services purchased from Verizon.

A ruling was created by the FCC to protect agencies proprietary network information. Anyone requesting access to the Networx portals for entitlements will have to be officially authorized, via the completion of CPNI forms by their agencies before Verizon could approve their request. The CPNI forms are used to specify the Network Services contracts under which the users are authorized to place orders, agency hierarchy codes or billing account codes for which the user is authorized to place orders. Contact your account representative for a copy of the CPNI forms.

Return to Top

Where should I send the CPNI forms?

All CPNI forms should be sent to the following address:

Mail: Networx User Administration Group
