There are two types of employees you can add. Each has different levels of permission within the member portal:

Affiliate: Can add, manage, and delete employee/associate profiles within the Organization when logged in
Representative: Can only manage their own profile, and cannot see other’s information when logged in

Username & Password Assistance

If you are a current member of DCREC you can retrieve your username and a temporary password via email by clicking here and entering the email address that was used to sign up for your account.

If you attempt to retrieve your credentials and your email does not match what we have on file please contact the DCREC office here.

Please proceed to the login page and type in your username and temporary password.

We recommend that you type the username and password that was provided via email. If you copy and paste the selection into the username and password fields, sometimes you are copying and pasting an extra “space” which the system will not recognize. 

You can retrieve your username and a temporary password as many times as you wish but the system will send you additional emails. Note that the most recent email you’ve received will contain the temporary password that will allow you to access your account.
