What is WISEhome?
WISEhome allows authorized users to access DPI secure web applications and tools from one location. WISEhome is your WISE application menu. DPI controls WISEhome.
If you are a District Security Administrator (DSA), Choice Administrator, or Application Administrator who needs to manage others' access to WISE applications, visit the WISEsecure page.
To log in to WISEhome, you first need one of the following:
- a Google account associated with a work email address (preferred when available)
OR
- a MyWisconsin ID (available since June 16, 2026)
If you are a brand-new user, you might not see any applications when you log in to WISEhome. Follow the "Request Access to a WISE Application" steps below.
Request Access to a WISE Application
- Request Access to a WISE Application - Step 1: Log In
Log in to WISEhome using your MyWisconsinID (beginning 6/16/26) or your Enterprise Google account.
To gain access to a DPI web application, you request access through WISEhome. All users can gain access to these DPI tools, but the steps to do so are different, depending on your email type and if you have ever created an account or not. Select the option below that best describes your situation and follow the steps provided.
I am a brand-new user, and...
I do not have (or I do not know if I have) a valid Enterprise Google account AND I have never created a WAMS or MyWisconsin ID account before.
First, check with your IT department to officially determine if the email address provided to you is an Enterprise Google account. If so, then sign in with Google.
If your employer does not have an Enterprise Google account, then you can create a MyWisconsin ID.
- If you have a verified Enterprise Google account, it is not necessary for you to create a MyWisconsin ID account.
- If this is your first-ever login, be aware of the Google Single-Sign on aspect for first-time logins.
I have created a WAMS account before.
If your WAMS account is associated with your current work email address, but your work email address is an enterprise Google account, then sign in with Google.
If your work email address is not an enterprise Google account, then create a MyWisconsin ID that is also associated with this email address to transfer your user data from WAMS to MyWisconsin ID.
I have created a MyWisconsin ID before.
- Request Access to a WISE Application - Step 2: Request Access
In WISEhome, go to the Request Access tab at the top of the screen.
- Request Access to a WISE Application - Step 3: Customer Access Form
On the Customer Request Access form, fill out the required fields, including your District, which schools within that district you need access for, Job Title, and the Applications you’re requesting access to. You can also include Comments to explain why you need access. You might include information about which user role(s) you need to perform your job duties. Once you fill out the form, click Request Access.
- Request Access to a WISE Application - Step 4: Check Email for Notification
Once you’ve submitted an access request, you can check the status of your request by going to the App Request Status page. Search for pending access requests by Request Date, Organization/Suborganization, Application, or Role. You will receive an email and a notification on the App Request Status page when your request is approved or denied.
Transition from WAMS to MyWisconsin ID
Since September 30, 2026, WAMS has been discontinued. The below options are available for users to sign in:
- Sign in with Google (preferred when available)
- Sign in with MyWisconsin ID (available to access DPI applications since June 16, 2026)
If you already had a WAMS account with your work email address, use the same email address with your new sign-in method to retain your existing user roles for DPI applications.
If your WAMS account used a different email address than your current work email address, then follow the steps above to request access to the DPI applications you need in your current role.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are all login options equally secure?
MyWisconsin ID requires multi-factor authentication. Google sign-in might or might not require multi-factor authentication, depending on your organization's configuration.
- Who can sign in with Google?
Employees of organizations with enterprise Google accounts can sign in to WISEhome with Google. This includes people who work for an employer that has set up Google accounts for their employees, such as YourName[at]SchoolName[dot]org.
This excludes accounts shareable between employees, such as secretary[at]SchoolName[dot]org. This also excludes personal Google accounts, such as YourName[at]gmail.com.
- Why is DPI encouraging users to switch associating their WISEhome login method from their personal email address to their email work address?
The use of work email accounts helps ensure that only the appropriate people access sensitive data. In addition, many applications send out automated notifications that should only go to work email accounts.
If you currently log in with WAMS, you can update your email address before the transition to MyWisconsin ID so that your user roles carry over from one account to the other. To do so:
Visit WAMS Profile Management.
Update the email address in your profile.
Log out of WAMS.
Close the browser tab.
Sign back in to the WAMS website with your updated email address.
Log in to WISEhome.
- I previously logged in with WAMS and now tried to log in with Google. However, I received a message that I have no user roles. What happened?
The transfer of user roles is not instantaneous. If you only just now made the switch, please try again later.
If, before switching from WAMS to Google sign-in, you updated the email address associated with your WAMS account, then:
- Close the browser tab.
- Log in again to the WAMS website using your updated email address.
- Wait a period of time before logging in to WISEhome with Google, because roles do not transfer instantaneously.
- Do District Security Administrators (DSAs) still need to offboard users who should no longer have access?
Yes. DSAs still need to revoke access of users who are offboarding, regardless of the user’s login method. DSAs should follow the steps in the “Offboard Users” section of the WISEsecure Tasks for District Security Administrators (DSAs) webpage.
- I am a DSA. What is the new workflow for assigning user roles if I previously did this proactively, without users submitting a request in WISEhome?
With WAMS, a person with the user role “DPI Admin” or “DSA” could manually look up an account and assign user roles without their colleague submitting a request. Now, DPI employees and application administrators need to follow the steps on the WISEhome webpage to request access to the DPI applications, just like other users.
- I already have a MyWisconsin ID for other reasons. Can I use that same account?
If you have a MyWisconsin ID for other purposes, such as your state parks pass, fishing permit, or ETF State of WI retirement account, that account should be associated with your personal email address.
If you log in to WISEhome with MyWisconsin ID, this account should be associated with your work email address.
Sign in with Google (preferred when available)
All DPI applications that you access through WISEhome allow you to sign in with Google if you have:
- an enterprise Google account
and
- an email address under this enterprise account that is individual to you
What is an enterprise Google account?
An enterprise Google account means that your agency/school/district manages this Google account for your entire organization. A personal Google email address is not part of an enterprise Google account.
- For example, FirstName.LastName@gmail.com is a personal Google email address. This address is not part of an enterprise Google account.
How do I know if the email address is individual to me?
An email address is individual to you if you are the only person who can use it. If you changed organizations, your organization would deactivate this email address.
- For example, FirstName.LastName@SchoolName.org is an individual email address under an enterprise Google account.
- By contrast, secretary@SchoolName.org or principal@SchoolName.org is not individual to you, because if you changed jobs, your organization would keep this email address active for the next person in this position.
Set up Google Sign-In
- From the left-side menu, click Log in to WISEhome apps.
- Click Sign in with Google.
- If the page directs you to indicate which account to use, notice whether the suggested account is your Google enterprise account.
- If the suggested account is your personal email address, click Use another account.
Once you log in to WISEhome, the applications to which you have access are listed and you can click any available application.
Sign in with MyWisconsin ID (since 6/16/26)
The state of Wisconsin and DPI are committed to providing secure access to systems.
As part of this commitment, DPI has made a significant upgrade to authentication systems, transitioning from the current Web Access Management Systems (WAMS) platform to the Wisconsin Department of Administration's new, state-of-the-art MyWisconsin ID system. WAMS was built with older technology. MyWisconsin ID uses modern authentication that provides better functionality and security.
As of October 1, 2026, if you previously accessed DPI applications using a WAMS ID and you do not have a Google enterprise account at your school or district to sign in with Google, you need a MyWisconsin ID. The MyWisconsin ID is person-specific; it is not a facility or company ID.
What if I have a MyWisconsin ID for my fishing license, employee trust fund (ETF) through the State of Wisconsin, or something else?
You may already have a MyWisconsin ID associated with your personal email address due to interactions with other state agencies or your benefits account. However, to access DPI applications, you need a separate MyWisconsin ID with your work email address.
Create a MyWisconsin ID by following the steps with screenshots on the MyWisconsin ID Self-Registration webpage.
- Create a MyWisconsin ID
- Visit the MyWisconsin ID Self-Registration webpage.
- Follow the steps to create your login.
- Use your school or district email address.
- If you previously had a WAMS account with your current work email address through your school/district, use that email address to retain the same user roles for DPI applications.
- MyWisconsin ID requires multi-factor authentication (MFA). Set up your authentication method of choice as part of your account creation.
- You must set up at least one method of MFA.
- Use your school or district email address.
- Get Help with MyWisconsin ID
DPI does not manage MyWisconsin ID. This means submitting a help ticket to the WISE Partner Support team will not resolve any issues with your account.
If you have an issue related to your MyWisconsin ID account, unrelated to a WISE application, visit the MyWisconsin ID Resources webpage. This webpage includes:
- steps to create your MyWisconsin ID
- options to manage your account
- help and FAQs
- contact information for the MyWisconsin ID service desk
The MyWisconsin ID Account Service Desk offers online self-service options and guidance. You can call 608-471-6667 for 24/7 support, 365 days a year.
