1. The applicant submits an account request to TACC
   
   • If you have a UT Austin EID or other UT system credentials use this form:
     • https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/utdr
   • Otherwise, start here
   • At this point the request is pending
   • Note that TACC now requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
     
     • see https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/tutorials/multifactor-authentication
2. The request is reviewed and approved by TACC staff, who initiate an verification email to the user
   • The user clicks on the email verification link
   • At this point the request is approved
     • The requested account credentials can be used to logon to the TACC user portal
3. The user must then logon once to the TACC Portal with their new TACC credentials
   • At this point the credentials become visible in the TACC search system
4. The user must be added to some TACC Project (allocation)
   
   • This step is performed by a PI who has a TACC Project with any active allocations.
5. Verify that your TACC account is fully active by logging into a TACC server such as stampede2, ranch or ls5.

Steps 1-3 can be performed by the applicant on their own. However, being added to TACC Project must be done by a UT professor or staff member who has a TACC Project with any active allocations. Typically this will be your PI, or a sponsoring PI. If you cannot obtain a TACC Project assignment on your own, please Contact Us and we may be able to help.
