Daily review also may reduce the need for SSD requests. For more information, see the expanded USAS Internal Transaction File Maintenance and Super Security Delete Process (FPP Q.001), which now includes more troubleshooting help for pending transactions.
Email usas.maintenance@cpa.texas.gov or contact your agency’s appropriation control officer with questions.

State agency employees use Texas Digital Identity Solution (TDIS) to securely log in to CAPPS.
Agencies can add tiles to TDIS for other applications such as Microsoft Office, Salesforce or custom applications. Integrating TDIS with existing applications can reduce the number of passwords users must maintain while improving security and efficiency. The Department of Information Resources funds TDIS software development and operating costs for internal state users.
TDIS is a single sign-on platform that provides multifactor authentication, federated identity management, and comprehensive reporting and analytics to participating agencies.
See DIR’s TDIS page or email tdismfa@dir.texas.gov for more information.
