The accounts for interacting with the platform are provisioned & managed at the Identity Management (based on keycloak), providing a secure & integrated single-sign-on (SSO) platform for all components.
If you don't have yet an account, you can create yourself by using the "Register" option provided at the bottom of the login dialog.
Acceptable policies for creating accounts and being elegible to be promoted for privileged access are:
- User accounts belong to individuals (no generic accounts), every account has to have at least a real name, mail & a strong password which is only known by the user.
Eventually a multi-factor authorization might be requested by the platform to ensure that privileged access is granted to the appropriate individual.
Avatars linked into your profile are desirable to facilitate to know who-is-who. - Privileged access is managed by mapping the individual accounts to roles & organizations.
The Identity Management System works very much self-serve manner, you can create, update your account information, get or reset your password/credentials and so on by just going there.
Please take into consideration the above mentioned requirements if you want to be promoted to some sort of privileged access. You might be required to verify the above requirements. For doing so please write us telling about you on our email lists, or join us online at our secure instant messaging server.
