Alliance accounts are ''per person:'' Account sharing is strictly forbidden. Each of your students, employees, or collaborators who will use the resources should therefore obtain their own account under your sponsorship. They should go to the [https://ccdb.computecanada.ca CCDB] to register in their own name, using your CCRI to indicate your sponsorship when filling out the web form. You (the sponsor) will receive an e-mail with a link to click on to confirm the sponsorship of this individual. There is no limit on the number of sponsored accounts that a PI can have, but such sponsorship should only be in the context of a genuine and sustained research collaboration. More details on the process of obtaining a Alliance account are available [https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/account-management/apply-for-an-account/ here]. | |||
