Creating a fully-enabled account with TACC involves several steps.
Tip |
---|
Having a TACC account is no longer required to set up a BRCF account. |
- The applicant submits an account request to TACC
- If you have a UT Austin EID or other UT system credentials use this form:
- Otherwise, start here
- At this point the request is pending
- Note that TACC now requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- The request is reviewed and approved by TACC staff, who initiate an verification email to the user
- The user clicks on the email verification link
- At this point the request is approved
- The requested account credentials can be used to logon to the TACC user portal
- The user must then logon once to the TACC Portal with their new TACC credentials
- At this point the credentials become visible in the TACC search system
- The user must be added to some TACC Project (allocation)
- This step is performed by a PI who has a TACC Project with any active allocations.
- Verify that your TACC account is fully active by logging into a TACC server such as stampede2, ranch or ls5.
