County names Auditor/Treasurer Vicki Doehling as IOwA for state education access
Summary
Douglas County delegates its Auditor/Treasurer, Vicki Doehling, to serve as the Identified Official with Authority (IOwA) to manage user access to State of Minnesota education systems (EDIAM) under Resolution 26-06 adopted Jan. 6, 2026.
The Douglas County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 6 adopted Resolution 26-06, designating County Auditor/Treasurer Vicki Doehling as the county’s Identified Official with Authority (IOwA) for the Minnesota Department of Education’s Education Identity and Access Management (EDIAM) system. The resolution notes that the Minnesota Department of Education, Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB), and Office of Higher Education (OHE) require annual IOwA designation.
The resolution assigns responsibility to the IOwA for authorizing, reviewing and recertifying user access to state education systems at least annually and revoking access when it is no longer needed to perform job duties. Commissioner Charlie Meyer made the motion to adopt Resolution 26-06, Commissioner Jerry Rapp seconded, and the board voted Yes — Kalina, Meyer, Rapp, Schmidt and Way. The motion carried.
Why it matters: The designation formalizes who in county government is empowered to manage and recertify access to state education systems, aligning the county with state enterprise identity and access management standards and clarifying accountability for user access.
