Apply for access to an existing project in Educloud Research

You must register for a specific project in order to gain access to Educloud resources (see the guided steps below). UiO user who only want access to Fox, the general-purpose HPC cluster, can apply for access to the Fox test project ec12. 

If you do not have ID-porten 

To add international users who do not have Norwegian e-ID, the process requires the project admin to schedule a video or phone call with the new project member. The procedure is the same for persons who already have an Educloud user account from a previous project.

1. The project admin requests a invitation link being sent to the foreign user: Educloud Self Service. The link requires a secret string, and will expire after 3 hours.
2. The project admin gives the secret string to the new project member via video or phone call with them.
3. The new project member follows the link, and either creates a new user account (generating login credentials by setting a password and scanning a QR code with an authenticator app on their portable smart device), or reuses their existing Educloud user account if they already have one.
4. The project admin gives access to Windows machines after the new user is created.

For existing Educloud users, it's important that the details entered by the project administrator who invites the new project member matches what they are already registered with.

For questions regarding user registration, please email ec-contact@usit-uio.no
