Gain Access to Globus

Step 1: Create a Globus Account

1. Visit the Globus Website: Go to https://app.globus.org to create a login.

2. Use your institutional credentials (recommended) or create a Globus ID to sign up for a globus account.

Step 2: Login to Globus

1. Once you have your account, you can log in to the Globus website using your credentials. If you signed up using a Globus ID, you might need to verify your email address. Follow the instructions in the verification email sent to you by Globus.

Step 3: Request Access

1. Fill out the access request google form. (Alternatively, you can email jenna.epifanio@oregonstate.edu with the subject line "Globus Access Request." In the email, include the following information: Full Name and institution, Datasets you are working on, and you have read and understand the Data Management Policy.)

Step 4: Wait for Confirmation

Once your request has been received and processed, you will receive an email confirmation from noreply@groups.globus.org. Follow the directions in the email to access the COLDEX collection.

Step 5: Access COLDEX Collection

1. After your identity is verified and you have logged into Globus, you will be granted access to the COLDEX PRIVATE ACCESS group.

2. Use the ‘File Manager’ tab on the left to search for “COLDEX”. Select the collection name (COLDEX) to be brought to the COLDEX file manager. Alternatively, the three dots on the right hand side can also get you to the file manager.

Step 6: Use the File Manager to download or view data

1.     Inside the Private folder, you will find two folders:

a.     COLDEX – contains a copy of the current Google Drive folders

b.     COLDEX Shared Data – contains unpublished, shared COLDEX data.

2.     To open a file, you need to download it to your computer. This prevents changing files on the globus database without authors’ permission.
