Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) FAQ

General Questions

What is SAFE?

SAFE—the Secure Access File Exchange—is a secure tool developed by DPI to provide secure, or confidential, data and reports to districts. For more information, visit the SAFE page.

Where do I log in to SAFE?

Log in to SAFE through WISEhome just like you do for other secure applications such as WISEdash for Districts, School Directory, and WISEsecure.

I am the district security administrator. How do I know what role to assign to a user of SAFE?

To determine which role is appropriate for each user, visit the SAFE section of the WISEsecure User Roles page. Remember that all reports available through SAFE are confidential and should only be made available to authorized personnel.

Access Questions

How do I know if I have access to SAFE?

If you have been granted access to SAFE, you will find the Secure Access File Exchange in the list of apps available to you when you log in to WISEhome. For more information on our security model and how to get access, please visit the WISEhome Introduction page.

I have logged in to WISEhome but have been unable to access SAFE. Why?

If you do not find SAFE in the list of applications once you have logged in to WISEhome, you may not yet have been given access to SAFE. To request access to SAFE, follow the instructions in the "Request Access" section of the WISEhome page. If you would like to request a specific user role, include this in the details of your request. Review the SAFE section of the WISEsecure User Roles page.

I want to use WISEsecure to give myself and/or others in my district access to SAFE. How do I do this?

Follow the steps on the Manage Access to WISEhome Applications page.

I am a district superintendent or district security administrator. How do I give access to SAFE for a staff member that isn’t currently using any secure tools (SAFE, WISEdash for Districts, etc.)?

Visit the Manage Access to WISEhome Applications page to review the different options available.
