New Online SCS Account Application & Account Changes

By SCSCF Communications Team

SCS Computing Facilities launched a new online SCS account application.

In addition, we have consolidated all previous accounts into 3 new simplified account types listed in the table below. As a reminder, there is currently no charge for user accounts. These different account types merely allow us to manage appropriate access levels to systems and services.


SCS Account Type SCS Services CMU Affiliation
Member Account Kerberos, AFS, SCS Email Alias, Linux GP, Printing, Help Desk, Technical Procurement Faculty, Staff, PhD & Masters Student, Undergraduate Researcher, Visitor
Collaborator Kerberos, AFS, SCS Email Alias, Linux GP, Help Desk External Professional Collaborator, Department Colleague, Education Partner
Cluster User Kerberos Cluster Admin must sponsor account

 

The new online application replaces/renders obsolete the old paper applications.
