DUS: Joining a Virtual Organization

De e-Ciencia

In order to use the Grid, the user must join (at least) one of the VOs in which the int.eu.grid applications are grouped. Currently the following VOs are available:

Medical Applications
iUSCT - Ultrasound Computer Tomography
ibrain - image-aided diagnosis in brain diseases
Physics
ihep - High Energy Physics applications
ifusion - fusion physics related applications
iplanck - development of tools oriented to analysis of sky maps from the WMAP and Plank missions
Environmental Models
ienvmod - development of tools to study environmental models

The computing resources are distributed on a per VO basis. Therefore to be able to use some set of resources users must join a VO. If your application is not contained in any of the macro-areas before, we will consider to start a new VO for it.

If you already have a Digital Certificate

To join a VO you should follow these steps:

  1. Load your digital certificate in your web browser. See Loading a PEM certificate onto a browser.
  2. Visit our VO Management Server
  3. Click on the left-hand side on the name of the VO you want to join
  4. Then click on New user request

This action will trigger an e-mail to the manager of the VO which will (eventually) authorize your request. Once you receive a confirmation e-mail that your request has been authorized you can begin to work.
