FMQuery – SIRS Navigation Guide
Section 3 – Viewing confidential reports

Overview

To access the confidential reports, there is an additional level of security. You will be prompted to enter your user ID and FMQuery password in order to access confidential reports.

Getting an FMQuery password

To obtain an FMQuery password, submit a request for a new ‘FMQuery’ password via email to ssa.security@cpa.texas.gov. Include your login ID in the email.

Logging in

1. Go to the SIRS Main Menu.
2. Under the Reports Containing Confidential Information subheading on the menu, choose “Access Confidential Reports.”
3. When this screen appears, enter your user ID and your FMQuery password.
4. Select “Enterprise” from the Authentication drop-down menu.

Note: If you have entered a temporary password, change your password when prompted. Follow the same rules that apply to the Comptroller mainframe passwords.
