There are two main scenarios by which you can obtain a login on this site.

Initiated by you

In this scenario, you request an account on the site. Your request is emailed to the group admins, who approve your request and create your account. You will then be sent mail with your initial password and some instructions on logging in.

To request a group:

1. Go to the request page.
2. Fill in the form. When you choose which group to join, you have several options:
   1. If you are directly affiliated with the GSRC (faculty, student working on GSRC projects, or involved industry representative), choose the Member option of the gsrc group.
   2. If you are more loosely associated with the GSRC as a whole but are not really a GSRC member (interested industry representative, for example) choose the Guest option of the gsrc group. Guest account also permit one to register to attend workshops.
   3. If you are collaborating closely with GSRC researchers who have an existing workgroup, choose the Member option of that group.
   4. If you are working only loosely with GSRC researchers who have an existing workgroup, choose the Guest option of that group.
3. Press the Request account button.

Initiated by us

A group administrator can "invite" you to create an account on this site. In this scenario, you will receive an email message containing the invitation and instructions on how to go to the web-site to create and initialize your account.

If you have received an invitation to join the site, you are not obliged to respond. If you choose to ignore the invitation, it will expire within a week. You can always request an account later.
