User, with appropriate permissions (UN HQ Editor, Editor Advanced) can run new Verification at any time, from a Partner's detailed page. Button is placed in a header, under the menu located in the top right of the page. ### Key Functionality & Controls | Ability to automatically mark a CSO’s profile as “Pending Verification” by default upon entry into the portal. | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Ability to have automated periodic scans of a CSO and its key staff against the UN Security Council sanctions list on the following profile fields: • Organization Name •Alias • Former Legal Name • First + Last Name of Head of Organization • Board Members • Authorized Officials | | Ability to view potential matches on the UN Security Council Sanctions List and indicate if the organization or individual is ‘Not a true Match’ or a ‘Confirmed Match’. | | Ability to ensure that the name of a CSO is not flagged in subsequent scans if the potential match on the UN Sanctions list was manually determined to be ‘Not a true match’. | | Ability to review a CSO’s profile and mark the status of the profile as “Verified” if the CSO meets the verification requirements and “Unverified” if the CSO does not meet the verification requirements. | | Ability to automatically show if a CSO has an observation or risk flag against its profile, and the content of the observation during verification. | | Ability to review details of current and past verifications made to a CSO’s profile. | | Ability to view the date a CSO was verified, the name and agency of the person who performed the verification. | | Ability to notify agency user when a CSO’s profile was verified more than 5 years ago. | | Ability to restrict verification to advanced editor and HQ editor roles. | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Ability to restrict the user from verifying a CSO if the profile is incomplete. | | Ability to restrict verification if there is a potential match of the organization’s name or key personnel on the UN Security Council Sanctions List. | | Ability to restrict verification of INGO HQ’s to HQ editor. | | Ability to restrict verifying the CO of INGOs if the HQ profile has status ‘pending verification’ or ‘unverified’ and/or has a red risk flag. | | Ability to restrict verifying a CSO with a red risk flag. | | Ability to restrict viewing comments on a verification to advanced editor and HQ editor roles. | | Ability to prompt user to confirm verification prior to changing verification status. | | Ability to generate a report on the verification status of CSOs. | | Ability to compare how many CSOs in the portal have been verified. | ### Restrictions * UN HQ users can verify INGO HQ profiles. A verification performed by one UN HQ will be accepted by all other agencies. * CSO can only be verified if their profile is complete. * INGO COs cannot be verified if the HQ profile has not been verified. > **without new tab** ## Viewing Verifications User can view Verifications from Overview tab: ![Verification statuses](https://3866432700-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-L1wyoElR0ykjtGXtNEN%2F-LACsE-orGxRCLnxyfDz%2F-LACspyje3xhUe1NgMxl%2FScreen%20Shot%202018-04-16%20at%2011.56.23.png?alt=media\&token=719cac4e-ada6-4fe0-b326-0d67af790b65) When view details button is clicked, the following modal with details will appear: ![Verification details](https://3866432700-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-L1wyoElR0ykjtGXtNEN%2F-LACsE-orGxRCLnxyfDz%2F-LACt1TLug40pDCjyuTI%2FScreen%20Shot%202018-04-16%20at%2011.56.33.png?alt=media\&token=4338cb67-ddb2-469c-be1e-6e30670e07c8) ## Adding new verification To conduct new Verification, users need to answer to the questions in the form, that is open in a modal window. ![Add new verification button](https://3866432700-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-L1wyoElR0ykjtGXtNEN%2F-LACsE-orGxRCLnxyfDz%2F-LACtNgGE5cxnUQmHorf%2FScreen%20Shot%202018-04-16%20at%2011.56.42.png?alt=media\&token=8285c745-fe78-453c-a35c-70a4716d1254) Verification form contains five questions. ![Verify Partner's profile - modal window](https://3866432700-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-L1wyoElR0ykjtGXtNEN%2F-LACsE-orGxRCLnxyfDz%2F-LACtRb3qv2VwyhxAxMV%2FScreen%20Shot%202018-04-16%20at%2011.56.48.png?alt=media\&token=c400800c-04f6-48f6-896b-a01d4bb137a5) If user chooses respectively: 3x "yes" and 2x "no" partner's profile will be Verified.
