This change is currently available in New Release for customer testing.

On Sunday, January 11 (trade date Monday, January 12), CME ClearPort user authentication and authorization transitioned to SMART Click.

SMART Click is a self-managed secure user profile that contains contact and security information. SMART Click offers the following benefits:

• Access to all permissioned SMART Click integrated systems with one user ID and password;
• A single user ID with permissions for multiple firms when appropriate;
• A personally chosen user ID that is retained by the user even when changing employers or firm relationships;
• The ability to self-manage SMART Click password and update SMART Click profiles online.

With this change, CME ClearPort users will be able to:

• Consolidate entitlements across multiple CME ClearPort user IDs into a single SMART Click ID.
  • Submit and/or view trades for all of your entitled firm and individual entities from a single SMART Click ID.
  • One-click consolidated access to all entitled CME ClearPort Reports, regardless of legacy role.
• Navigate CME ClearPort and CME ClearPort Reports with a new common navigation bar.
  • And access other SMART Click-enabled CME Group applications, per your entitlements.

Existing CME ClearPort users will be required to transition their entitlements to a SMART Click ID before using SMART Click to access the application. Additional information on this process is available online.

Current CME ClearPort user IDs will be decommissioned on Friday, May 15, and CME ClearPort will be accessible via SMART Click only.

During the claiming period, Firm Verification Officers will have the ability to run a Legacy Claim User report in CME ClearPort Reports to monitor the SMART Click transition process of registered users at their firm. This report can be run for specific user roles and to verify migration status of Legacy User IDs.

This change is currently available in New Release for customer testing.
