Pre-Step

Do you already have NSI Access?

Machine accounts are a type of ESL account that is used by Wisenet to log in to education sector systems such as the National Student Index (NSI). The Machine Account Owner is responsible for the management of the machine account/s they own. Only the Machine Account Owner can set or reset the passphrase for a machine account – the Education Service Desk can no longer do this.

To request access to NSI REST Interface (web service) follow the steps in How to obtain NSI access

Once you have received the testing procedure, web service username and password from the Ministry, you will need to test that the implemented NSI REST interface functions correctly and send the results back to them.

Please see our detailed How to Test NSI REST Interface guide on how to complete this process.

Add New NSI Record

The add student facility is used to create new student records in NSI. To add a student to the NSI you should first search to confirm that the student you wish to add does not already have an NSI record. This helps to avoid unintentionally creating a duplicate record.

On the new pop-up window, you can also add a record to the NSI database.

1. On the top right corner, Click Add New Record
2. Fill in the relevant data record you want to add
3. Click Add Record to National Student Index Database
4. Review any messages returned and act accordingly.
   A notification confirms the record has been created
5. Click Select on the right to save the NSN to the field
