Enable RCDev Users

The IEMs system used by Exam Development for item writing requires that users have both an account within the IEMS system (which administers the role of the user) and an RCDev license which is used for the two-factor authentication utilized to authenticate users.

In the current process, exam development will create the account for the IEMS user, and then submit a request for IT to activate the RCDev license and configure it. This document outlines the activation and configuration steps.
