Access to SBN DocDB for ICARUS collaborators
Fermilab DocDB allows for many ways to access. Depending on your
access mode, all page URL will be slightly different.
The recommended way is currently via Single Sign
On.
This method allows you to be identified as yourself, and allows for
many actual authentication paths (e.g. a CILogon
certificate).
Solution to access denial problems
DocDB has per-document access policies, that are set by the person uploading the document (the lists "can modify" and "can view"): if you belong to one of the allowed groups, you can view a document or event.
In the old shared username/password authentication, one could view all
and only the documents of the login group (e.g. if you log in as
icarus
you won't be able to see documents which only lar1nd
can
see).
In the new personal log in, you may belong to several groups, but
sometimes you start with not belonging to any, and you'll be denied
access to most documents.
In order to fix that, after logging in check in the Your
account
page the list Member of groups:: it should likely contain at least
icarus
and sbn
.
If it does not, open the Apply for
access
link and select the groups you need (usually no more than just icarus
,
sbn
and lar1nd
, that is SBND).
The authorization is not automatic, so it will take some time (maybe a
working day). After this, you are done with this business.
