Getting an Account
Only the users specified by the proposal spokesperson in the beam time support request can obtain a UNIX account, and these users can apply for a UNIX account using the user portal.
All persons using SLAC computer accounts are responsible for:
- Completing course CS 101 Cyber Security Basics.
- Understanding and complying with the terms outlined in the Use of SLAC Information Resources.
Shared Accounts
Shared Accounts will be created only if requested by the spokesperson. These types of accounts can only be used to access the logbook and to copy the experimental data to a home institution or to an external device and they don't allow data analysis using SLAC computing resources. A personal UNIX account is required for that purpose.
The proposal spokesperson or their designated contact must acknowledge agreement with the conditions specified in the Use of SLAC Information Resources Acknowledgement-Addendum in order to establish a Shared Account for this experiment.
The Proposal Spokesperson who is the custodian of a shared account MUST:
- Ensure that only legitimate users have access to the shared account.
- Keep a list of who has access to the shared account and be able to produce the list at the request of computer security or delegated authority.
Enabling the Account in the LCLS System
Your UNIX account must be enabled in the LCLS system in order to have access to data and elog. This happens automatically if your account is created with XU as its primary group. By default all accounts created with the URAWI user portal are XU accounts.
If your primary UNIX group is not XU, you can make a request of enabling your account in the LCLS system by sending an email to:
