Registration Forms
 

 

Case 1 - Personal accounts

Prerequisite: You have to be registered in CERN's Human Resources (HR) database either by HR (personnel paid by CERN) or by the CERN Users' Office (CERN users not paid by CERN), or for external contractors the registration service in Building 55.

Step 1: user is new at CERN and does NOT have a CERN computing account

New users  should first sign  the Computer Centre User Registration Form electronically. To do so:
follow the procedure outlined in this link

After that users should follow all the other steps below to create the CERN computing account.

Step 2: user has already a CERN computer account but needs new access to some services (e.g. new login on AFS, NICE, Remedy, etc.)
OR
user is new and has signed the User Registration form (step 1) and need a CERN computing account (with access to various services)

Users must contact directly their Computing Group administrator who will proceed to the name reservation and accounts creation using CRA. The group administrator shall give the login name and initial CERN password.

How to find your Computing Group administrator:
See https://espace.cern.ch/it-faqs/Lists/faqs/DispForm.aspx?ID=230

Please note:

  • The Helpdesk cannot help with account  creation, and users must contact (by phone or email) one of their Computing Group administrators.

  • For changes in the HR database (e.g., your phone, or office number, name correction) please call your secretariat or for visitors the Users' Office (phone: 76767).

 

Case 2 - Generic (non-human) account


To register a generic (non-human) account (e.g., service, CERN club, etc.) open the "Generic Entry Request " link on the right. Note that these accounts cannot obtain GRID certificates.


 

Account closure: Shortly before your registration expires you will receive an email warning you that your accounts will be closed. If you fail to renew your registration, your accounts will be blocked on the date indicated. (Read this CNL article for more information).
