Only your sponsor and those working with your sponsor can coordinate your access to these areas. The Service Desk does not have privileges to grant permissions or access to specific workspaces or projects. The Service Desk The Service Desk can help with basic issues such as a password reset or initial login problems. Contact the Service Desk at 1-800-429-5190.

Escalation Contact Your Northrop Grumman sponsor is always your contact for any escalations that you may have. My Project is Over What do I do? When your project or proposal is over you must advise NGC so that your access will be terminated. At all times this is done via your Sponsor. At the onset of your work an estimated date of completion was provided by your Sponsor. As this date was only an estimate it is possible that your access will be terminated earlier or after the estimated completion date. Some NGC-systems automatically notify when your end-date is approaching. In either case (early completion or extension) you must coordinate your continued or terminated access with your Sponsor. Upon completion of a project or proposal and termination of your access, you must return all equipment, such as a SecurID token, to Northrop Grumman as describe under Purpose in this document.
