We are moving account creation to a new onboarding system, HiPPO (High-Performance Personnel Onboarding). Current systems supported on HiPPO are Farm, Franklin, and Hive. Accounts on other systems are requested via a web form. 

When generating a request for an account on a system, please have the following handy: your UC Davis CAS ID, email address, PI or sponsor ID, department information, and your SSH public key.

For more information on generating SSH keys, please refer to: https://docs.hpc.ucdavis.edu/general/access/  For more information about SSH keys in general, please visit Wikipedia.

Please note that confirmation from your PI or sponsor will be required after you send an account request. Any request without PI confirmation will not be accepted. 

Please note that portions of this process, such as access to job queues and group storage associations, still require manual intervention and take time relative to our workload. We are currently in the process of automating these tasks.

Please create a request on HiPPO to request an account on Farm, Franklin, and Hive.
