Peers

Peers enables you to add and manage external people you vouch for to get an account on the system — whether for a particular course, workshop, research project, or general collaboration with you. When a peer is added or accepted, site admins will use the provided information to evaluate and process their account request.

  • Accepted Peers
  • External requests to be a Peer
  • Create a new Peer
  • Import Peers
Accepted Peers ( of ) ? ? Accepted Peers: Accepted peers are people that you have vouched for to get an account on UCPH ERDA because they need it for a particular course/workshop, research project or for general long term collaboration with you. The site admins will use this information to accept account requests and extensions from your peers until the given time of expiry.

Requested Peers ( of ) ? ? Requested Peers: If someone requests an external user account on UCPH ERDA and explicitly references you as sponsor or contact person the site admins will generally forward the request, so that it shows up here for you to confirm. You can then accept or reject the individual requests below to let the site admins proceed with account creation or rejection. Please select an expire date to provide limited but sufficiently long account access - it can always be extended later.

Import peers ? ? Import Peers: You can paste or enter a CSV-formatted list in the righthanded box to create or update your existing peers. The contents must start with a single header line to define the field order in the following individual user lines as shown in the example at the bottom.

Label ? ? Label: The label is used as a free text identifer for the peer. You can use this to group/organize a collection of peers that you subsequently can search and or select against when going through your Accepted Peers. Kind ? ? Kind: is used to define the purpose for you granting the external peer access to ERDA. Be it for a Course, Project, or general Collaboration. Like the Label, this can be used by you to select a particular kind of group when going through your Accepted Peers. End Date ? ? End Date: For security reasons peer accounts should be closed when no longer required. The End Date is used to limit account access time for that purpose, and you can always extend it later if needed. For courses and workshops a few weeks or months should usually suffice, while projects and long-term collaboration often extend to months or years. Peer accounts still need to be renewed at least annually, but the peer users can do so themselves without your repeated explicit acceptance, as long as it does not exceed your provided End Date.
