Registration/bwForCluster/Entitlement

The bwForCluster Entitlement is issued by the university you are a member of. It tells the cluster-operator that you are currently a member of this university. It also means that the university checked that your actions comply with the German Foreign Trade Act (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz - AWG) and German Foreign Trade Regulations (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung - AWV) (see eduPersonEntitlement).

Step A: bwForCluster Entitlement

To register for a bwForCluster you need the bwForCluster Entitlement issued by your university.

Note that this is the name of an identity management attribute and not a link.

Check your Entitlements

First check if you already have the Entitlement, some universities automatically assign the entitlement to some accounts:
