SDS@hd/Registration

Registration Steps

The registration consists of two steps:

• Step A: Membership in Storage Project (Speichervorhaben/SV). There are two options:

  a) → Join existing SV

  b) → Apply for new SV (only possible for bwIDM members)

• Step B: →Registration for SDS@hd Service

After finishing the registration, the next steps are:

• Check which management options there are for your respective role in the SV → SV Management
• See how to access and use your storage space → Access

Step A: SV Membership

You can either join an existing SV or start a new one.

a) Join existing SV

To join an existing SV as a coworker:

1. Get the following information from the SV responsible:

   • SV acronym
   • SV password

2. Fill in and submit the SV collaboration form after logging in to the SDS@hd Managementtool.

   You are now a member of the SV. The SV owner (and SV managers) will be notified automatically.

→ Go on with Step B if you are using SDS@hd for the first time.

b) Apply for new SV

This is typically done only by the leader of a scientific work group or the senior scientist of a research group/collaboration. Any amount of co-workers can join your SV without having to register another project. You just need to provide them with the SV acronym and SV password. You'll receive this information via e-mail as soon as the SV application was successful.

There are two steps:

1. Get the permission / entitlement:. Your institution has to grant you the permission to start an SDS@hd storage project ("SDS@hd SV entitlement"). Please follow the procedure specific to your institution:

   → see Entitlement.

2. Apply for a new SV:

   → Fill in the form at the SDS@hd Managementtool.

→ Go on with Step B if you are using SDS@hd for the first time.

If you register your own SV, you will be:

• ...responsibe for providing new members with the necessary information to join the SV

  → see SV Responsible (SVV)

• ...held accountable for the co-workers in the SV
• ...asked to provide information for the two reports required by the DFG for their funding of SDS@hd
