You must register for a specific project in order to gain access to Educloud resources (see the guided steps below). UiO user who only want access to Fox, the general-purpose HPC cluster, can apply for access to the Fox test project ec12.
If you do not have ID-porten
To add international users who do not have Norwegian e-ID, the process requires the project admin to schedule a video or phone call with the new user.
- The project admin requests a invitation link being sent to the foreign user: Educloud Self-service. The link requires a secret string, and will expire after 3 hours.
- The project admin gives the secret string to the new user via video or phone call with the project admin.
- The new user follows the link, creates the user, set password and generates qr-code for authenticator.
- The project admin gives access to Windows machines after the new user is created.
For questions regarding user registration, please email ec-contact@usit-uio.no
