CSCS provides a web-based tool to let users manage their accounts and projects. It can be accessed here: https://portal.cscs.ch
With this tool, users are allowed to, among other things:
- Access their profile, manage institutional details, or password reset
- List the organizations they are working with
- List the projects they belong to (even those closed)
- Check details on each project, quotas, and current utilization (TBD)
- Overview of where the user has his/her files at CSCS (including homes, scratch, etc.) (TBD)
As for group leaders (or PI's), the tool allows to:
- Manage user's membership
- Invite users to their projects with an email address. Existing users can accept immediately, while non-existing users will get instructions to open an account and then join the project
- Remove users from their projects
- Define one or more deputies to perform such tasks. Please note that the responsibility for what happens within the project still belongs to the group leader or PI
A short guideline on how to perform these tasks can be found below.
Usage
The tool should be quite intuitive (otherwise please let us know!) and is composed of the following main areas:
- A) User Dashboard → Profile Management
- B) Organization Dashboard → to show the list of projects, users working on different projects under this organization
- C) Project Dashboard → to show the resources, users assigned to the project, invite new users to the project
