You can log into RCP using your UoM account username and password. (Note: If you are off campus, please connect to the University VPN before accessing the portal.)

Once logged in, follow the steps below to request a DaRIS storage allocation:

1. Create an Activity
   (Skip this step if you already have an existing RCP Activity that you wish to add your DaRIS resource to.)

• Go to your Home page in RCP.

• Click "Create New Activity".

• Complete the form and click Submit.

• If you listed yourself as RCAO, the new Activity should appear on your Home page and will be ready for use.

• If you listed someone else as RCAO, the Activity will appear but won’t be ready until the RCAO approves it.

2. Add a DaRIS Resource to Your Activity

• On your Home page in RCP, locate the Activity you want to add the DaRIS resource to.

• Click "Add Resource" within that Activity.

• In the pop-out window, find the DaRIS tile and click Add Resource (0/1).

3. Request a Storage Allocation

• On your Home page in RCP, locate the relevant DaRIS resource.

• Click "Request an Allocation".

• Enter a storage quota and a name for the allocation, then click Request.

• Once the allocation has been provisioned, you’ll see a green message: “Allocation ready to use!” This means your DaRIS storage is ready for access.

In the request form:

1. Select the service: Research Data Storage.

2. In the field “Describe your request”, include the following details:

   • The user details (email or UoM username) — if you are requesting access for someone else

   • The DaRIS project ID you want to access

   • The access level required (project-administrator, subject-administrator, member, or guest)
