FSP Tracking System – How to get access

For Non-ministry users

This ‘user class’ includes major licensees, woodlot licensees, Community Forest Agreement holders, Pulpwood Agreement holders.

To access FSP, private sector clients must have a BCeID userid. For information on how to get a BCeID userid, go to the BceID Enrollment Process webpage.

Access to the following page requires a valid BCeID - if you have difficulty accessing this page please see logon help.

FSP and ESF access can then be obtained by going to the Application Access form for FSP.

For general inquiries regarding access or for help with problems associated with access to the FSP tracking system, contact the NRS Service Desk

It is assumed that contractors who work on behalf of licensees, the Ministry, or both will be assigned new userids, specific to the client they are working on behalf of. This will prevent:

  • Any adverse behaviour on the part of the application and
  • Any potential conflict of interest, real or perceived, on the part of the contractor.

The rules are as follows for a Licensee user:

  • The client field will be set and cannot be altered (i.e., display only). A licensee user can only see their FSP information.
  • Although the client will be defaulted to the licensee the logged on user is associated to the user may review other licensees FSP’s that are approved on the application by requesting the ‘FSP View All’ user role.
  • All clients with a BCeID get immediate access to the corporate reporting system (CRS) and MapView.
  • A licensee with FSP Submitter role will already allow the user to do ESF FSP submissions.
  • The FSP Submitter role includes the ESF Submitter role allowing FSP submissions using ESF.
