Basic information
- Affiliation in PLGrid Infrastructure is defined as user’s association with a Polish scientific institution.
- Providing valid affiliation information is required to gain access to PLGrid Infrastructure resources. Information provided by user is verified before they can get access to resources.
- Access to resources is regulated by terms and conditions.
- User can register more than one affiliation.
- Affiliations in PLGrid Portal have expiration dates. If a user needs resource access beyond the expiration date, they must apply for an affiliation extension before it ends.
- Employees at Polish scientific institutions automatically obtain Supervisor's role after affiliation verification. Supervisor can grant their scientific cooperators (so-called subordinates) access to PLGrid Infrastructure. Subordinates can be students or other people who are not employed at a Polish scientific institution.
- Supervisor is obligated to manage their subordinate's affiliations. Supervisor should deactivate affiliations of their subordinates with whom cooperation has been terminated.
- User obtains a trial (test) workgroup after verification and activation of the first affiliation. The trial workgroup has following parameters:
ID: plgt-[the rest part of login], where [the rest part of login] is their plglogin without the "plg" part.
