Confluence is 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 plan to access and analyze data please get a full SLAC account (see next section below). If you don't plan to analyze data, you can get access to Confluence via a SLAC Crowd account.
- Before requesting a Confluence account, you must be a registered member of the CDMS Collaboration. The registration page is linked here .
- Email Cartaro to create a Confluence account. Your username will be your email address as listed in the collaboration directory.
- Here is an example email:
- Hello Dr. Cartaro, I am a new CDMS member and am requesting confluence-only access.
Contact: 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.
Before requesting a SLAC username and account, you must be a registered member of the CDMS Collaboration. The registration page is linked here.
- 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.
When the registration is complete you will receive a SLAC ID (SID) number that is needed for requesting a computer account.
Take your trainings as indicated in the SLUO welcome email but disregard the instructions on how to apply for a SLAC computer account. It contains a protected link and it would not get your account setup properly for CDMS work.
INSTEAD, fill out this computer account request form and send the form to the CDMS computer czar, Cartaro, or the SLAC supervisor, R. 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.
Move on to Working with SLAC Computing Systems (confluence access required - see Step 6) to test out your new account.
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.
Once you have your SLAC computer account, you still need to get access to the CDMS Confluence space. Send an e-mail to Tina or confluence-admin@slac.stanford.edu asking for access to the CDMS group space on Confluence.
