Grant access to terrabyte

How to add or remove users to/from a project and grant access to terrabyte​

As a master user of a project, you can add and remove users with an existing LRZ/terrabyte account to/from your project and grant/withdraw access to the terrabyte compute capacities of your project. Typical use cases include:

  • Adding/removing a member of your scientific project to/from a terrabyte project that benefits from higher job priorities in the queue.
  • Granting/withdrawing access to/from terrabyte for an external user with an "empty account." (See )

To add/remove users, follow these steps:

  1. Log in with your terrabyte credentials at the IDM Portal 2.

  2. From the drop-down menu on the upper left, select "Management Service."

  3. Under "Gruppe" ("Group"), select "Anzeigen/Bearbeiten" ("View/Edit").

  4. There should be at least one group for the Service "HPDA" with the name "[your project id]-c." Select the group.

  5. You should see an overview of the group details, the group administrators (master users), and a list of group members. To add or remove members from this group (and grant or withdraw access to the compute capacities of your project), click on "Bearbeiten" ("Edit") in the upper part of the website.

  6. A new window opens. At "Gruppenmitglieder" ("Group members"), click on "Bearbeiten" ("Edit"):

    a) To add a user: In the field "Kennungen / Mail Adressen" ("Accounts / Mail addresses"), write the account ID of the user and click on "hinzufügen" ("Add").

    b) To remove a user: In the list on the right side, remove the user by clicking on the garbage bin icon next to their name.

  7. Click on "Übernehmen" ("Submit") at the top of the page.

  8. Finally, click on "Speichern" ("Save") at the top of the page.
