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

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).  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.

    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.  You should disregard the email instructions on the top of the SLAC-account request form sent to you by SLUO.
   

   Instead, fill, print, sign, scan the computer account request form at http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/comp/slacwide/account/account.html

    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: If you work primarily at another institution, it would probably be best to 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
   • Authorization: leave blank

   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.

   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. Once your accounts are activated you have 30 days to complete Cyber Security Basics course online (windows password required).
   Failing to do so will result in the account locking, pending completion of the course.  You will also need to take periodic cyber security refresher courses.  Accounts that do not stay current with cyber security training will be deactivated.

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.
