ResearchCloud first-time use

back to index

Preparation

  • To access an already created, running workspace, you need to be a member of the related collaborative organization. Logon to SURF ResearchCloud portal and navigate in the menu to "Profile" to list your collaborative organization memberships.
    If you start a new project, use a UU Servicedesk call to request a new collaboration.

  • When using your web browser for accessing a workspace, you need to configure a time-based token. Please consult the table in Options for accessing your workspace for any other methods of access.

Advanced usage

  • To create a workspace you need to be a member of a collaborative organization. In addition it requires you to have a wallet attached to your account. The running costs of the workspace will be charged to the cost center of your wallet. It is common to have a wallet per collaboration/project.
    Use a UU Servicedesk call to request a new wallet. Ideally include your project's cost center WBS in the call.

Guidelines for managing a workspace

  • Suspend ("pause") the workspace when you do not need to access it for the remainder of the day. Suspending or resuming a workspace only takes a minute and minimizes the charges on your cost center.

  • Avoid unnecessary charges: consider to delete the workspace if you do not plan to use it for a prolonged number of days.
    Usually it takes less than 30 minutes to recreate a workspace.
    NB: make sure that you have safe-guarded your valuable data by saving it to a location external to the workspace, for instance Yoda or ResearchDrive. Once a workspace is deleted, all data held locally on that workspace is purged (unrecoverable).
