External collaborators

If your UCloud project involves an external collaborator who does not have standard WAYF access to UCloud, you need to follow the procedure below.

Procedure for Adding External Collaborators on UCloud

1. Sensitive Data Projects:

   • If your project includes sensitive data, please follow the Sensitive Data Process before proceeding.
     • The external collaborator should be approved by grants and contacts to get access to the data.

2. Request a Guest Account:

   • The external collaborator must be registered as a guest researcher at your institute or department.
     • You should contact the relevant person at their institute to request a guest AAU AD user account.

3. Log In and Accept Terms:

4. Once the guest account is created, the collaborator must log into UCloud and accept the platform's Terms and Conditions (SLA).

5. Add the Collaborator to Your Project:

6. The Principal Investigator (PI) can now add the collaborator to the project, just like any other pre-approved participant.
