Manifest groups can allow group members to access MFA & Campus VPN. This document describes the process to request MFA & VPN and the services that can be requested by group administrators in Manifest.

Note: Only research collaborators that need access to VPN to access research resources can qualify for MFA & VPN access via Manifest. For all other populations, the ability to grant WiscVPN and Duo access via Manifest has been deprecated in favor of adding users that need VPN access into HRS as a Person of Interest (POI). 

MFA or WiscVPN for Research Collaborators

External collaborators that need access to VPN to access research resources can qualify for MFA & VPN access. Individuals with access to Research Drive are given access to Duo MFA and WiscVPN if added to a drive's external group, therefore this process does not apply to that population.

Access requests for Duo MFA and/or WiscVPN eligibility will only be considered for Manifest groups associated with research. To request access, email mstsupport@doit.wisc.edu with the following information:

1. The path of the group you would like the services to be added to. The Group path is available in the details for the Manifest group beneath the group name or the group UUID can be copied from the browser URL for the group.
2. The services you would like added to the group: Duo MFA and/or WiscVPN
3. A description of the users that will be in this group and the reason they require the requested services.

Once approved, you will receive an email with confirmation that the group is now Duo MFA and/or WiscVPN service enabled. Your group members will then be able to access the corresponding service(s) after logging into a new session with their NetID.
