Creating a TACC Account

The applicant submits an account request to TACC using the TACC portal:

• If you have a UT Austin EID or other UT system credentials, you can use this form to gain "single sign on" to the portal using those credentials:

  • https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/utdr

• Otherwise, start at https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/account-request to create a tacc account which is not linked to your UT Austin EID or other UT System credentials.

• At this point the request is pending.

• Note that TACC now requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

  • See https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/tutorials/multifactor-authentication for more information.

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 PI may the request a TACC Project or allocation.
