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].

By default, every role that you have sponsored through your Compute Canada Database (CCDB) registration has been given access to your RAC allocation. Any co-PIs that were listed on your RAC application will also have access.
 
If you desire, you can limit the use of the allocation to select members of your group / co-PIs. To do so, please follow these instructions:
 
1) Log in at https://ccdb.computecanada.ca/ If you don't remember your password, you can reset it by clicking the "forgot password" link provided on the login page.
 
2) You can manage your memberships directly here:
https://ccdb.computecanada.ca/resource_allocation_projects/alloc_rap_members/13
 
or, upon logging in, from the "My Account"  drop down menu, select "Manage RAP Memberships". Change the Resource Allocation Project (RAP) to select your current allocation. The RAP associated with NRAC 2014 is your most current RAC allocation.
 
3) Add/remove project members by clicking the green checkmarks or the red x's. If you do not have permission to edit project members, you may have the wrong RAP selected. The sponsored users of any co-PIs will also be listed and their permissions can be edited. From this page you can add someone else from your group to be the manager, who upon being appointed, will have the permission to edit project members.
