Collaboration contacts
Each collaboration is represented by one or more collaboration contacts. These people represent their collaboration to CC-IN2P3, and are therefore the key players in exchanges between the collaboration and the CC-IN2P3. The collaboration contact may change throughout the existence of the collaboration.
Any user may find their collaboration contacts list in their User Portal profile page or in their collaboration card on the Identity Management Portal.

Resource access validation
The collaboration contact responsible for accounts validation and their lifecycle management, as well as certain decision-making within the collaboration, is identified on the collaboration card by the label [Collaboration]. The scope and consequences of these tasks depend on the type of collaboration in which they operate.
Note
To enable responsive handling of these tasks, it is advisable to define in a collaboration several contacts with the same validator role.
Please find below the list of tasks required:
Manage their collaboration memberships:
validate the users’ membership requests,
set or modify the expiration date for a user’s membership,
confirm every 5 years the validity of a user’s membership.
Manage collaboration contacts roles:
edit the roles of existing collaboration contacts or appoint new contacts,
propose the roles of technical contacts.
Define the resources request,
Important
For any IN2P3 scientific collaboration, the contact may have the additional role of Non-IN2P3 accounts validator. This role is necessary to accept in the collaboration users from research structures outside IN2P3. If necessary, please request it to user support.
Manage their research structure members:
set or modify a user account expiration date,
certify the profile information when a new account is created and when an account extension is requested.
Manage collaboration contacts roles:
edit the roles of existing collaboration contacts or appoint new contacts,
propose the roles of technical contacts.
Define the resources request if necessary,
Attention
The requesting account remains on hold until it is validated in its administrative collaboration,
The actions of an administrative collaboration contact implicitly represent the corresponding research structure management decisions.
Technical roles
Any [Collaboration] contact may wish to delegate administrative roles concerning the management of CC-IN2P3 resources. They can assign the following roles to other members of their collaboration from their collaboration card.
- Computing contact
They oversee the use of the computing resources allocated to the collaboration and is CC-IN2P3 primary contact in the event of incidents.
- Storage contact
They oversee the use of storage resources allocated to the collaboration and is CC-IN2P3 primary contact in the event of incidents.
- Reporting contact
They have access to specific information on the User Portal enabling him/her to view resource consumption details by collaboration members.
The computing and storage contacts, as well as the collaboration contact, also have the “reporting” role.
Important
Technical contacts will not have the responsibilities of resource access validation.
