Accessing the Act 70 Survey SharePoint Site
After youve been notified that youve been granted access, you must closely follow the instructions below to access the Act 70 Survey SharePoint Site.

Note: System performance will vary depending on the network, hardware, and software used to access the Act 70 Survey SharePoint Site. For best results, login
using Internet Explorer (Version 8 or higher) on a Windows machine connected directly (not wirelessly) to the internet. You may experience issues when using
SharePoint through other browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) or on other operating systems (such as MAC/Apple). You may also experience issues
when connected wirelessly. Using Microsoft Edge requires that you add the Act 70 Survey SharePoint Site to your browsers compatibility view settings.

1. After youve been notified that youve been granted access, click on Act 70 Survey SharePoint Site.

Note: AFTER you login to the Act 70 Survey SharePoint Site, you may want to create a bookmark or shortcut. DO NOT bookmark the login screens.

2. On the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania page, click on Login to USER & MUSER click here.

NOTE: If you do not have the option to click Login to USER & MUSER, youll need to clear your browsers cache before attempting to login.

3. In the username field, enter user\ followed by your PA Login username. Note the following requirements:

Your PA Login username is the username you entered when you registered with PA Login.
Your PA Login username is NOT your PA Login email address. If you can't remember your PA Login username, visit PA Login (Forgot Username).
DO NOT enter the quotes.
You MUST enter user\ before your PA Login username (No quotes).
You MUST enter a backslash (\) NOT forward slash (/) after user (no quotes) and before your PA Login username.
Do NOT enter ANY spaces before or after user, the backslash (\), or your PA Login username.
Do NOT capitalize user (no quotes).

For example, if my PA Login username is "Tester", I would enter "user\Tester" in the username field (no quotes).
