Access Policies

Our access levels are aligned with the EOSC EU Node Access Levels (Observer, Explorer, Collaborator and Investigator).

Depending how your registration credentials, you will be granted a particular access level. Each level gives access to a set of the platform services. Each level includes access to the services of the previous levels.

Access levels

Non-registered users

Non-registered anonymous users are able to:

• Browse our public catalog of services

• Browse our educational materials

• Browse our open-source software

Basic access level

Registered users with basic access level (ap-0) can:

• Deploy an AI model in their own cloud

Granted to: any registered user (e.g. via Github, Google, IFCA SSO and ORCID. )

Intermediate access level

Registered users with intermediate access level can:

• Try an AI model in the Dashboard

• Chat with the platform LLM

Granted to: researchers with EduGain credentials. More finegrained permissions are granted based on membership:

• ap-a: any person with EduGain credentials

• ap-a1: any person with EduGain credentials that is employed by an organization

• ap-b: any person with EduGain credentials that is an employed researcher

Full access level

Registered users with full access level can use all the features the platform has to offer, including:

• Developing AI models in the Dashboard

• Training AI models in the Dashboard

• Deploying AI models in production

• Accessing the Storage

Granted to: This access level is usually reserved to developers (ap-d) or members of one of the supported projects (ap-u):

• AI4EOSC: AI for the European Open Science Cloud

• iMagine: Imaging data and services for aquatic science

• AI4Life: AI models and methods for the life sciences

• KMD4EOSC: Universal infrastructure for efficient data processing in HPC

Upgrading your access level

Any user is, in principle, candidate to upgrade to full access. There are two main entrypoints to full access:

Option 1. Join a supported project

Members of the following projects get full access level:

• AI4EOSC: AI for the European Open Science Cloud

• iMagine: Imaging data and services for aquatic science

• AI4Life: AI models and methods for the life sciences

• KMD4EOSC: Universal infrastructure for efficient data processing in HPC

Consider joining these projects via their Open calls for external usecases. More information about the calls can be found in their respective project’s homepages.

Option 2. Make a special requests

Sometimes joining a project is a lengthy process. We are also able to upgrade user access level case by case. Feel free to contact support explaining why would you need full access and what do you plan to do with it. Due to the limited amount of resources, the team will carefully study your request before granting you full access.

Credit system

In order to improve the management of compute resources, we are in the process to adopt a credit system, thus fully aligning with the EOSC EU Node Access Policies. Stay tuned!
