Overview

This wiki page contains information about registering an account with the EGI AAI in order to access a variety of EGI tools and services using the same account.

Signing Up for an EGI Account

To access EGI resources, you need to sign up for an account. As part of this process you will be assigned a personal EGI ID, which will then be used across all EGI tools and services. To register your account, follow the instructions below:

1. Enter the following URL in a browser: https://aai.egi.eu/signup

2. Select your Identity Provider from the discovery page:
  • browse through the list of Identity Providers to find your Home Organisation;
    or, alternatively,
  • type the name of your Home Organisation in the search box. Note that this filter only matches entries within the currently selected view (tab) of Identity Providers and is localised based on the selected language.

4. After successful authentication, you may be prompted by your Home Organisation to consent to the release of personal information to the EGI AAI Service Provider Proxy.
5. On the EGI AAI Consent about releasing personal information page, click Yes, continue to consent to the release of personal information to the EGI User Account Registry. If you select the Remember option, your browser will remember your choice unless you clear your cookies or restart the browser.

6. After successful authentication, you will be redirected to the EGI account registration form. On the introductory page, click Begin to start the registration process. Depending on the attributes released by your Identity Provider, you will need to go through one of the following account registration processes:
    1. Self-service Sign Up: Allows you to join the EGI User Community without approval by an administrator if all the information below is asserted by your Home Organisation:
      1. at least one of the following unique user identifiers:
        1. your pseudonymous, non-reassignable identifier (eduPersonUniqueId attribute);
        2. your name-based identifier (eduPersonPrincipalName attribute);
        3. your pseudonymous identifier (eduPersonTargetedID attribute or SAML persistent identifier)
      2. your first name (givenName attribute)
      3. your surname (sn attribute)
      4. your email address (mail attribute)
      5. your role (affiliation) in your Home Organisation (eduPersonScopedAffiliation attribute)
    2. Sign Up: If any of the information above cannot be released by your Home Organisation, you will need to provide the values of the missing attributes yourself. Your request to join the EGI User Community must then be approved by an EGI User Sponsor. You may optionally select a particular individual to review your request through the Sponsor dropdown list.
7. On the registration form, click Review Terms and Conditions (Grid Acceptable Use Policy - Grid AUP).

9. Finally, click Submit to submit your request. Important: You will not be able to submit your request until you agree to the terms.
10. After submitting your request, EGI AAI will send you an email with a verification link in it. After you click that link, you'll be taken to the request confirmation page.
11. After reviewing your request, click Confirm and re-authenticate yourself using the Identity Provider you selected in Step 2.
12. In the case of the Sign Up registration, you need to wait for an EGI User Sponsor to approve your request to join the EGI User Community. Upon approval, EGI AAI will send you a notification email.

Note: After your registration has been completed, you can manage your profile through the EGI Account Registry portal at https://aai.egi.eu/registry.
