Entitlement Program
The FINRA Entitlement Program provides a secure way for firms to access many of the web-based applications, materials and services they use with a single user ID and password.
FINRA’s 2025 Entitlement User Accounts Certification Process
Entitlement Certification Period – Organizations with Super Account Administrators (SAAs)
FINRA’s User Accounts Certification Process for Super Account Administrators (SAAs) is scheduled for April 14 – June 16. During this period, SAAs for firms with more than one user and/or administrator account must certify that authorized users are only entitled to those privileges/roles necessary to perform their job responsibilities on the FINRA Entitlement platform. If an individual no longer requires access, remove the appropriate entitlement(s) or delete their account.
Organizations with only an SAA account and no other users or administrators have the option to certify, but are not required, unless the firm has access to the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT). Firms with one or more accounts with access to CAT must certify.
To learn more about the SAA’s role and responsibilities, please consult the following resources:
