New User Policy
To incorporate requests for new OSG accounts into the NERSC Information Management (NIM) System, and to facilitate the authorization of user requests, the following steps are required to register a new OSG user on NERSC systems.
User requesting account fills out OSG New User Account Web Form at:http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/services/Grid/starting/newuser_form.php
Submitting the Web form will fill out a mail template and send it to a person in charge of the group's activity at NERSC.To change any of the above representatives, please contact OSG Support Person
The user will also need to fill out the NERSC Computer Use Policies Form, before they can run at NERSC. A PI connected with the request should determine if the user making the request should be be granted an account under the requested OSG group and fill out a form in NIM. When the PI submits his/her NIM request a RNW ticket gets created. The NIM request will be processed by the appropriate NERSC personnel, who will create the account(s), thus resolving the ticket. The person requesting the new account will be notified via e-mail when the account is created. This e-mail will also contain information on how to obtain and change their password, and how to get information and help at NERSC.
