The access to the Platform is open to any researchers, with limited know-how and expertise about ICT-based infrastructures, who needs to access to large-scale computing and storage facilities to support cutting-edge research, innovation and knowledge transfer in Europe. The access to this Platform is granted for one year upon validation.
New users registration is not automatic and requires validation by LToS supporters. This process is currently operated by the EGI UCST, but we would like to open it to other NGI user support representatives and NGI International Liaisons (NILs).
The process of validation can exclude those users who are not eligible to access the Platform, and provides an additional level of assurance for the resource providers who enable the catch-all VO (vo.access.egi.eu ) trusting EGI in authorizing the right users.
To reduce any additional overhead and the operational costs of the Platform, the process for validating a new user must be limited to the following steps:
Validation of a new user registration in the acess.egi.eu plaftorm
- Check whether the user has no other active account in the Platform.
- In case the user already has another account in the Platform the new one will not be approved.
