SAAVI is a role-based system, meaning how you use it is determined by your responsibilities—either as a Liaison or a Reviewer. Liaisons are responsible for receiving email notifications for tasks, responding to task assignments, and forwarding tasks to Reviewers. Reviewers have the responsibility of approving documents assigned for clearance in SAAVI on behalf of their ICO. 

If you do not currently have a SAAVI account, please contact your ICO SAAVI contact, which can be found under Directories (IC found here and OD found here) to have them submit the request. As Reviewers have the responsibility to approve documents assigned for clearance in SAAVI on behalf of their ICO, an existing ICO Reviewer must approve all requests for Reviewer SAAVI access. 

Current SAAVI Liaisons and Reviewers should submit requests directly within SAAVI to add, delete, or update a Liaison or Reviewer for their ICO. Please see the Detailed Guide or Quick Reference Guide for instructions and the FAQ section of the ES website for more information on managing your ICO’s users and using SAAVI. 

Once you have an account, you may request training. 

Liaisons: Access the HHS Learning Management System and search for "SAAVI Liaison Training" to register for a class. If you need more intensive, hands-on training, or ad hoc SAAVI assistance, submit an NIH IT Service Desk ticket.

Reviewers: Submit an NIH IT Service Desk ticket to request individual training. Reviewers may also enroll in the Liaison training through LMS if they would like an overview of SAAVI.
