How to get access to Confluence only

Contact: Concetta (Tina) Cartaro

Confluence is widely used by the CDMS collaboration, so if you are working on the experiment you need access to Confluence.  If you don't plan to analyze data, you can get access to Confluence via a SLAC cloud account.  

• Before requesting a Confluence account, you must be a registered member of the CDMS Collaboration. The registration page is linked  here .
• Go to this sign-up form
• Sign up for the CDMS group (make sure that you specify the "CDMS" group, not "CDMS SLAC")

How to get a SLAC computer account and get access to Confluence

Contact: Concetta (Tina) Cartaro

You should request a SLAC computing account if you plan to analyze any SuperCDMS data.  To get access to Confluence, you will need have your SLAC computer account linked to Confluence (see Step 6 below).  Once your SLAC computing account and Confluence accounts are linked, the same password will give you access to both.

1. Before requesting a SLAC username and account, you must be a registered member of the CDMS Collaboration.  The registration page is linked here.

2. Register with SLUO (SLAC Users Organization)

   To register, fill in the form located at https://oraweb4.slac.stanford.edu/apex/epnprod/f?p=134.  If you would like more information on SLUO, see their page here.

   title SLUO form details
   Experiment you will be working on: select CDMS SLAC Group/Department: "FPD: SuperCryo Dark Matter Search" Spokesperson/Reference Person: Richard Partridge

3. When the registration is complete you will receive a SLAC ID (SID) number that is needed for requesting a computer account.  
   Please disregard the email instructions on the top of the SLAC-account request form sent to you by SLUO. It contains a protected link. 
   INSTEAD, fill out this computer account request form and send the form to the CDMS computer czar, Concetta (Tina) Cartaro, or the SLAC supervisor, Richard Partridge. If you do not receive feedback within 2-3 working days please contact Tina or Richard.

   title SLAC computing form details
   Requestor information: leave blank SID #: This is found in the e-mail confirming creation of your SLUO account (see above) New Account Type: If you are an offsite user, request a Unix and Windows account SLAC e-mailbox: It is really your choice but whatever you choose be sure to read emails from SLAC. If you work primarily at another institution, you can select None; you can still receive e-mails at USERNAME@slac.stanford.edu, they will simply be forwarded to your primary e-mail account; otherwise, MS Exchange or Unix should probably be selected on the basis of your preferred e-mail client. Requested User ID: This can be anything, but generally some combination of your last name and possibly your first name or initial would be best – this will make it easier for other users to identify who you actually are from files that you create or edit Signature: No signature is needed. You will electronically sign later in the process. Authorization: leave blank

   Follow directions for changing the default password(s) as soon as possible.

4. Move on to  Working with SLAC Computing Systems (confluence access required - see Step 6) to test out your new account.

5. You should have completed  Cyber Security Basics training at the moment of SLUO registration. If that is not the case you'll have 5 days to complete it once your accounts are activated. You will also need to take periodic cyber security refresher courses. Email notifications will be sent to you as reminder. Failing to take the training when due will result in the account locking, pending completion of the course.

6. Once you have your SLAC computer account, you still need to get access to the CDMS Confluence space.  Send an e-mail to Tina Cartaro or confluence-admin@slac.stanford.edu asking for access to the CDMS group space on Confluence.
