Committee wrestles with how Merit investigators and non‑consortium agencies will access RMS data

Several members raised the operational problem of granting Merit investigators or non‑consortium agencies access to consortium records during active investigations. Using Oak Brook and Naperville as examples, participants described prior arrangements that treated outside agencies as separate tenant accounts with limited access. "Naperville... they function as their own agency," one member said, noting the existing model uses independent licenses paid for by Merit for a small number of seats.
