# Linking Personnel to FSSIDs

Personnel records in may be linked to an FSSID. Once linked, this person may use their FSSID password to sign in to Fire Station Desktop.

Follow these instructions to link an FSSID to personnel using Fire Station Desktop.

## Linking an FSSID

To link an FSSID from Fire Station Desktop you must have the *Department Manager* permission in your department and **you must sign in to Fire Station Desktop using your FSSID**. You must also have *Can Manage Personnel* permission in Fire Station Desktop.

Once you are signed in using your FSSID, follow these steps to link a personnel record to an FSSID:

1. Click "Personnel" &gt; "Manage Personnel" to open the Manage Personnel screen
