User account

You may ask for a user account at CC-IN2P3 if:

  • you are administratively affiliated to an IN2P3 research structure,

  • you work in collaboration with IN2P3 or research entities using CC-IN2P3 services and resources,

  • your applications/infrastructures are hosted by CC-IN2P3.

Important

Once created, a user account may become member of one or more collaborations, and his activity will be managed under the responsibility of the relevant collaboration contacts.

If the collaboration is allowed to use computing resources following its resource request, the account will have access to the interactive servers. To highlight this authorization, the account will be referred to as computing account.

Request an account

To create your CC-IN2P3 user account, please follow the procedure below:

  1. read the Charters for the use of resources (the account creation or submission of a creation request implies acceptance of the charters),

  2. go to the Identity Management Portal and select the “Sign up” button,

  3. fill in the required information (using eduGAIN will make this task easier) and follow the instructions you’ll receive by e-mail.

Once the account has been created, an access with the same identifier is provisioned on our Helpdesk.

Attention

The creation of a user account for research structures personnel involving an administrative collaboration will be subject to validation by the relevant collaboration contact. The account will therefore be active only after validation.

Important

Once your account is created, you may request the membership to the scientific collaborations in which you wish to work.

Account management

The User Portal gives you access to information concerning your resources usage, as well as an archive of the notifications concerning your activity at CC-IN2P3.

The Identity Management Portal allows you to check and manage information concerning your account profile at CC-IN2P3.

Note

If you have any problems connecting on the Identity Management Portal, please refer to this Troubleshooting page.

Personal certificates

Access by identity federation

The connection to the some of the services provided by the CC-IN2P3 and accessible through web interface is most often achieved by authentication via the identity federation eduGAIN or RENATER (which is part of eduGAIN). This type of connection allows automatic validation of the account on first access and implements a Single Sign On system, based on the user’s reference e-mail.

Some services require manual registration for users not recognized by identity federation. Many institutional domains are listed in the federation: please check the presence of your institutional guardianship on the respective WAIF pages below. Please contact, if necessary, user support.
