About ProtectNetwork IDs
ProtectNetwork is an independent Identity Provider service. A user without a UW NetID can register for a free ProtectNetwork ID on the ProtectNetwork Web site and will be able to participate on GoPost boards that use either "Anyone" or "Groups" security settings. ProtectNetwork ID users may also be added as moderators or administrators to a board with these security settings. Learn more about the Catalyst login system and ProtectNetwork.
