This article is meant for managers (i.e. person of contact, PC) of compute projects. The article describes how to

• add additional (external) project members and 
• provide them with an HPC account.

To be able to perform these actions, you need to meet the following requirements:

• you need to be person of contact (PC) of an active computing project
• Your RegApp account needs to be linked with your JARDS¹ account. To make sure use SSO to log in to JARDS at least once!

  • Change Your RWTH RegApp Identity Provider
  • FAQ → Can I log in into JARDS for NHR using my home organization access (e.g. SSO or ORCID)?

To grant a HPC project access for external memebers, please follow the steps below.

Step 1
Log into RWTH RegApp (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet) and select Projects → My Projects (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet) in the dash board.

Step 2
Select the project you want to manage. If the project list is empty your RegApp account might not be connected to your JARDS account yet. (See prerequisites).

Step 3
Click the button Invite members.

Step 4
Fill in the form with the name and e-mail address of the additional (external) project member and click on the button SEND INVITATION. The invitee will now receive an e-mail with the invitation to join the project.

Step 5
The invitee can now proceed to Setting up your HPC account

Step 6
Once the HPC Account is available, the user can be added to the UNIX group of the project, allowing them to access the project directories and submit jobs to SLURM. 

¹Referring to the instance of JARDS where the project was applied for. i.e. either JARDS for NHR (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet) or JARDS for RWTH (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet).
