Summary

INFORMATION PAPER
Managing Multiple DTS Profiles
Introduction 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

Activate a For DTS profiles, the SSN is the unique identifier and the system won’t allow duplication

Different Therefore, to establish the secondary profile the SSN field includes a letter depending upon your
Profile 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

3. Enter the Social Security Number (SSN) – twice – that is associated with the profile you want
to use. Note: Enter only numbers, no dashes or spaces

 For Reserve Component member’s user/traveler profile enter your SSN with a specific
letter suffix R. Note: Contact your DTA if you have questions

 For senior DTS administrators, user only profile enter your SSN with a 1-letter suffix

Note: Contact your DTA for local guidance

Multiple things to keep in mind

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
