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.
   • At this point the credentials are fully active and ready to be associated with an RCTF account.

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.Note that TACC now requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on most systems. See https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/tutorials/multifactor-authentication

Once these steps are complete, the TACC credentials are fully active and ready to be associated with an RCTF account. However, TACC accounts and RCTF accounts are separate entities, and it may take some time for the TACC account information to be propagated to the RCTF account management application.
