INFORMATION PAPERManaging Multiple DTS ProfilesIntroduction Anyone requiring access to the Defense Travel System (DTS) must have an active personal profile assigned to an organization. In most cases, based upon the individual’s designated role, a single profile is adequate to accomplish all tasks using a combination of permissions and access levels. For the DTS role descriptions, see the DTA Manual, Chapter 3
There are few situations that one profile cannot support multiple roles requiring an additional profile. Examples of individuals needing different profiles include: Travelers employed as both a DoD civilian and a member of the Reserve/Guard
Senior DTS administrators who need to access multiple DTS organizations under different roles
Note: The maximum number of user/traveler profiles a person may obtain is two and the profiles must reside in different DTS organizations to ensure audit compliance
For more information about profiles, see the DTA Manual, Chapter 7
*In this information paper, unless stated otherwise, “you” are a traveler; however, the actions described also apply to anyone who creates documents for you, such as a Non-DTS Entry Agent or travel clerk

Different Therefore, to establish the secondary profile the SSN field includes a letter depending upon yourProfile role. The secondary user/traveler profile requires all the same information as the primary activate profile, but you will have a different assigned organization, routing list, and the tile/rank field may differ. If you require a user only profile, then your DTA will create the profile for you
To navigate back and forth between profiles, you will use the Reset Profile feature following the steps below: 1. To activate a different DTS profile, log onto DTS using your currently active profile. On the DTS Dashboard, select your name then Reset Profile (Figure 1). A pop-up screen opens asking if you’re sure that you want to reset your profile

Profiles The two profiles are separate identities in DTS. You need to update both profiles individually to make changes such as update GTCC data and any data, which applies to both (e.g., address, phone number, or EFT). The Updating Information in a DTS Profile information paper provides more on this topic
If you obtain a new CAC, contact the DTA to reset the Reset User ID button in the profile. DTS will validate your credentials then allow you system access. If you use one CAC with dual profiles, ensure a reset occurs for both profiles
If you receive an error at log in, contact your DTA to verify the profile is not detached. If detached, the DTA should receive the profile into the proper DTS organization, and then update the profile by choosing Reset User ID
