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:
Super Account Administrator (SAA) Agreement
New Organization Super Account Administrator (SAA) Agreement must be used when a new organization is first requesting FINRA Entitlement and needs to designate its SAA. This agreement is available on the FINRA website.

Signatory Requirements and Special Circumstances for SAA Agreement
The New Organization SAA Agreement has specific instructions and signature requirements which must be met for processing. The agreement must be signed by an Authorized Signatory and may not be self-signed unless specific requirements are met as indicated on the agreement.
Replace/Update Your SAA
The Account Management System now offers an online workflow that enables a firm to submit a request to replace its SAA and allows an SAA to update their name or email address without having to contact the FINRA Support Center. All requests need to be approved by a firm’s Authorized Signatory before being fulfilled.
