Confluence is widely used by the CDMS collaboration for its internal documentation so the first step as a new member of the collaboration is to gain access to our internal Confluence space.

If you don't plan to analyze data, you can get access to Confluence via a SLAC Crowd account.  

1. Before requesting a Confluence account, you must be a registered member of the CDMS Collaboration. The registration page is linked  here .
2. Email cdms-slac-contact@slac.stanford.edu to create a Confluence account. Your username will be your email address as listed in the collaboration directory.
   1. Here is an example email:
   2. Hello, I am a new CDMS member and am requesting confluence-only access.  

 Contact: cdms-slac-contact 

You should request a SLAC computer 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 8 below).  Once your SLAC computing account and Confluence accounts are linked, the same password will give you access to both.
Please be aware that the approval process of your user application can be quite long (typically 2-3weeks).

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. Become a SLAC User (member of SLUO, the SLAC User Organization).
   To enroll, follow the instructions at the Scientific Collaborative Researcher Registration Site:  https://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/IAM/.
   NOTE: this is a new procedure, please report to cdms-slac-contact any problem that you may find.

3. When the registration is complete you will receive an email containing your SLAC ID (SID) number that is needed for requesting a computer account.  
   Ignore the rest of the content of the email, fill out this computer account request form, and contact the CDMS computer coordinator, cdms-slac-contact@slac.stanford.edu , to make sure they know that you are applying. If you do not receive feedback from the SLAC Account Services within 2-3 working days please contact the CDMS computer coordinator.
   

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

5. Move on to  Working with SLAC Computing Systems (confluence access required - see Step 7) to test out your new account.

6. You swill need to complete Cyber Security Basics training within 5 days of your account activation. 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.

7. Once you have your SLAC computer account, you still need to get access to the CDMS Confluence space.  Send an e-mail to the CDMS computer coordinator asking for access to the CDMS group space on Confluence.
