Does a cloud solution include the SMS? The SMS is the only cloud based software we use.
Yes, it does if you are using a cloud-based Student Management System (SMS) and have shared your Machine-to-Machine credentials with your SMS provider to enable you to use that software.
The My Cloud software service allows education or training providers to:
- notify the government of their cloud-based software provider
- securely transact with the USI Registry System without the need for their own Machine-to-Machine credentials.

What is a machine credential?
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) credentials are used for system to system web services and installed on the server hosting an education or training provider’s system. M2M credentials identify a business rather than a person. Users of a USI web service enabled Student Management System (SMS) do not need their own individual credential.
M2M credentials are used in third party testing (3PT) and production environments.
The Office of the Student Identifiers Registrar provides credentials for third party testing.
Production credentials are created by the authorised person in the education or training provider through the ATO RAM system.
What are the end point URL’s for the USI system?
Section 4.2.2 of the USI Technical Services Contract (TSC) identifies the complete range of production URLs.
