I previously used my old institutional login for my RSP account, but am no longer able to access it for authentication purposes with Shibboleth. Would it be possible to update my account to either my Github/ORCiD or new institutional email?
Hi @astjoephysics , thanks for posting.
In the system I can see that you have one Active account with identity provider Queen’s University Belfast, an @qub.ac.uk email address, and username astjoephysics. I can also see a second account with ORCID and the same email address, created yesterday. It looks linked to your Active account, but the linking would not have worked if you can no longer access your Active account.
If you can confirm that you cannot log in to the RSP at data.lsst.cloud with QUB or ORCID as your identity provider, the next step is to create an entirely new account with a different identity provider and email address. If you want to use ORCID for that, let me know and I can expunge your new (inactive) account with ORCID so that you can reuse it. You’ll create a new username, and Rubin staff will move your old home directory contents to be accessible to your new account.
Once that is all set up, you should link a secondary identity (e.g., GitHub, your new institution) to your new account.
As a side note, Rubin’s international data rights holders list has you as a JA at QUB, and if that has changed make sure you talk to your advisor about the Grace Period in the UK’s agreement (Section 4.5 of the Rubin Data Policy).
Hi Melissa,
That ORCiD was my attempt at getting an alternative login to my existing account, but as you say didn’t work as I can’t authenticate from my QUB email address. I’ve recently finished my PhD at QUB in the UK where I had JA rights, but am starting a postdoc in UW next month where I presume I will have data rights again.
As for making a new account, I have started to make a new account under my personal gmail (hopefully it’s obvious which one) account and am now awaiting approval (I assume, let me know if there’s any issues holding that up). Once that’s done I’ll do as you say re: linking a secondary identity. If you could expunge the ORCiD associated with my QUB account that would be appreciated.
I have no data on the RSP on my old account that I need saved, so if that is lost, there’s no issue there. Thanks for your help!
Hi Joseph, thanks for confirming all those details and for restarting the process. I couldn’t find you in the system and sent you a private message here in the Forum to get some extra details.
