Compute Canada accounts are per person: account sharing is strictly forbidden. Each of a PI's students and collaborators should therefore obtain a personal account under the PI's sponsorship. Students and collaborators should go to the [https://ccdb.computecanada.ca Compute Canada database] to register for an account in their own name, using the sponsor's CCRI when filling out the web form. The PI 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, however a sponsored account has complete access to the PI's storage and compute allocations so such sponsorship should only be in the context of a genuine and sustained research collaboration. More details on the process of obtaining a Compute Canada account are available [https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/account-management/apply-for-an-account/ here]. | Compute Canada accounts are per person: account sharing is strictly forbidden.

When submitting a jobs to the scheduler on a cluster you will need to specify the account to be "billed" for this job, which is the means by which you and your collaborators can make use of any compute allocation you may have on a particular cluster. See [[Running_jobs#Accounts_and_projects | this page]] for more details. | |||
