OneGMS Registration Process (for New Users)

OneGMS uses Entra ID for United Nations (UN) Agency users and UN Partner Portal (UNPP) for non-UN users. Humanitarian ID (HID) is no longer used. This guide explains how to register and log into OneGMS for all users.
Non- UN Agency users are those whose email domains are specific to their organization outside the UN system (INGO or NNGO) and those whose email domains are public (Gmail, Outlook, etc.). Users in this category should follow the instructions below.

b) Click [Login].
c) Enter your email address. Click on [Continue].
d) You will be redirected to UNPP. Depending on whether you have a UNPP account or no UNPP account, follow the instructions below.

If you have an existing UNPP account:
a) Log in with your existing UNPP username and password.

2) UN Users (inclusing OCHA staff)
A UN Agency user is any user who has an email domain from any of the United Nations Agencies (i.e. un.org, unicef.org, unfpa.org, etc.). Users in this category should follow the instructions below.
a) Go to the OneGMS homepage: https://onegms.unocha.org.
b) Click [Login].

After entering your email address in the new OneGMS authentication page, you will be redirected to the UNPP login page.
You can sign in using your existing UNPP credentials (username and password).
Once authenticated, you will be logged into OneGMS.
If you are a UN Agency user:

Specific cases: multi-users/multi-pooled funds registration
The following specific registrations cannot be processed by the users themselves as they require action from the HFU and the OneGMS support team.
- Access to multiple funds.
- Change of access from one fund to another.
- Reactivation/Deactivation of access.
For all aforementioned cases, please send your request to both your OCHA country team and the OneGMS Support (gms-support@un.org), with a detailed explanation of your current situation.
