How do I create an account in Via?

Account Creation

In order to access anything other than Visitor Program Dashboards in Via, users must create an account. An account can be created for two different user types in Via:

  1. Traveler – user with rights/permission to perform non-administrative tasks, like starting and submitting applications and forms
  2. Admin – user with rights/permission to perform administrative tasks, like creating programs, enrollment workflows and managing enrollment cycles.

Anyone can, at any time, create a Traveler account. However, for an Admin account to be created, the user must be expressly invited by another Administrator of the Organization's account.

Unsure who to contact to be invited as an Admin? Send us an email at support@via-trm.com for further assistance.

NOTE: Admins with permission can turn OFF the ability for new travelers to Sign Up for a Via TRM account. Click here for more information on how to toggle Sign Up on/off.

Depending on whether the organization has Single Sign On (SSO) will determine how to create a traveler account.
