Adding/removing users

How to manage users in your Mediaflux project, inclusive of adding and removing users, and modifying users' access levels

We encourage you to use the self-service UAM (User Account Management) Portal to manage your users' access.

To use the UAM Portal, you will have to:

  • be the RCAO (Research Computing Activity Owner) for the RCP Activity in which the Mediaflux project resides

and/or

  • have ‘manage resources’ permission in the RCP Activity in which the Mediaflux project resides

 

If you’re unable to use the UAM Portal, please contact Research Computing Services to share/restrict your project with collaborators.

Please make sure to provide us with the following information to speed up your request:

  • Your project id (e.g. /projects/proj-test-1128.4.8)

  • The user’s institution

  • The user’s institutional username

  • What kind of access you would like the user to have/not have, one or more of the following:

 

 

Go to the UAM (User Account Management) Portal and follow these steps to give users access to your project. The possible roles you can give the users are described here.
