This certification also includes the roles in NDW and Oracle Discoverer.

Please note that a valid/active password is required to complete your recertification(s). If you require a password reset and are unable to change your password using the self-service password reset request feature for the CBS system, please submit a written request to the Client Services Help Desk at clientservices@noaa.gov. The email should include the name of the system for which the password reset is being requested (i.e., CBS) in addition to your user id and your given name, if different than your email address.
