Preface

P.1 Purpose

a. This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) directive establishes Agency-wide identity, credential, and access management policy and establishes high-level implementation requirements as set forth in NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 1600.2, NASA Security Policy, as amended. Identity, credential, and access management are the activities that deal with identifying individuals and controlling their access to resources (e.g., facilities and information technology (IT) systems) by associating user rights and restrictions with the established identity.

b. This NASA directive prescribes personnel responsibilities and procedural requirements for the creation, usage, and management of identities and the creation and issuance of identity credentials to assist NASA Centers and Component Facilities in executing the NASA security program to protect people, property, and information.

P.2 Applicability

a. This NASA directive is applicable to NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers. This language applies to Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), employees, JPL personnel, other contractors, grant recipients (to include recipients of cooperative agreements), or parties to agreements only to the extent specified or referenced in the appropriate contracts, grants, or agreements.

b. This NASA directive is applicable to all other personnel completing work through Space Act Agreements, Memorandums of Agreement/Understanding, or other applicable agreements, those assigned or detailed under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act, partners, and visitors.

c. In this directive, all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term "shall" or "must." The terms: "may" or "can" denote discretionary privilege or permission, "should" denotes a good practice and is recommended, but not required, "will" denotes expected outcome, and "are/is" denotes descriptive material.

d. In this directive, "NASA directives" refers to both Agency-level and Center-level directives.
